Abstract:
Whether in the world or China,lung cancer is a malignant tumor which is harmful to human health.There were studies showed that lung cancer is tightly related to the environment factors and life style.The epidemiology study found that eating more fruits and vegetables can prevent lung cancer.Vegetables and fruits are rich in phytochemicals such as isothiocyanates,indoles,flavonoids and so on.These phytochemicals reduce the risk of lung cancer by modulating antitumorrelated pathways such as inhibition of cell proliferation,induction of apoptosis,and the like.The aim of this review is to summarize the mechanisms of phytochemicals in vegetables and fruits in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer,so as to provide theoretical basis and direction for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.
