Medical Research Breakthroughs and Bladder Cancer

The green pill: The University of Michigan Medical School has published findings of their latest research which says broccoli extract significantly, and dose-dependently decreased the incidence, multiplicity, size, and progression of bladder cancer induced by the chemical N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine, while the extract itself caused no histologic changes in the bladder. The authors administered a freeze-dried aqueous extract of broccoli sprouts daily to rats who had N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine induced bladder cancer and released the results. The active ingredient in broccoli is isothiocyanate, a well-known class of cancer chemo preventive agents. It was found that >70% of the isothiocyanates present in the extract were excreted in the urine as isothiocyanate equivalents in 12 h after a single dose, indicating high bioavailability and rapid urinary excretion. The authors conclude that broccoli sprout extract, isothiocyanates is a highly promising substance for bladder cancer prevention. Further testing in humans is necessary to determine if the extract is effective in non-chemically induced bladder cancer.
