The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.

Patients with non-small cell lung cancer who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were screened and randomly divided into control group and experimental group. Control group: chemotherapy plus water (at least 3-5 cups per day, 100-120ml per cup), test group: chemotherapy plus green tea (patients

The idea of identifying oral lesions with a precancerous nature, that is, in the sense of pertaining to a pathologic process with an increased risk for future malignant development, of course, is to prevent frank malignancy to occur in the affected area. In 2005, WHO categorized any lesion or

Prevalence of obesity or metabolic syndrome and diabetes: Obesity or metabolic syndrome is becoming a global epidemic and common health problem. The rising prevalence of obesity and associated comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers represents a major

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To establish maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to collect safety data of defined green tea catechin extract (Polyphenon E/epigallocatechin gallate [EGCG]) treatment in patients with cirrhosis. II. To determine the effects of Polyphenon E/EGCG treatment on the suppression of

Obesity prevalence is increasing around the world and the United Kingdom is no exception. Latest statistics show that approximately 25% of the UK population is obese and is predicted to rise to 70% by 2020 if present trends continue. Obesity is particularly widespread in Scotland where approximately

The subjects who had undergone complete removal of colorectal adenomas by endoscopic polypectomy have been enrolled since June 2010. They were then randomized into two groups as follows: supplementation group (0.9 g GTE per day for 12 months) or control group without GTE supplementation. Follow-up

5 Introduction Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by i) a hypokinetic movement disorder which defines MSA of the parkinsonian type (MSA-P) or by ii) cerebellar symptoms which define MSA of the cerebellar type (MSA-C). In both types

(-)-epigallocatechin -3-gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant polyphenol compound from green tea, representing ~16.5% of the water-extractable fraction. EGCG have various bioactivities and can bind and regulate a wide range of molecular involved in cell cycle, signal transduction, and protein

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess changes in the levels of total- and free- prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free to total PSA (f/tPSA) ratio and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) levels and IGF-I/free PSA (fPSA) ratio, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), and vascular

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To investigate the prostate tissue concentration of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and quercetin and their methylated metabolites in men scheduled for prostatectomy and consuming green tea (GT)extract (N=15) or GTextract with quercetin (N=15) for 3

Breast cancer is one of the most frequent malignant tumor of women in Nigeria. In Nigeria, among the urban women, the numbers of breast cancer patients were increasing annually, both to aging of the population and increase in age-specific incidences. Case control studies in parts of the country have

The relationship between the relative breast cancer (BC) risk and seaweed intake among humans is only now unfolding. A small body of research, both in vivo and in vitro, suggests seaweed may be useful in BC prevention (Funahashi et al. 1999; Teas et al. 1984; Yamamoto et al. 1987) . Seaweeds are
