Abstract(s)
The chemical molecules included in the class of phenolic compounds
encompass a very large variety of structures, constituting numerous families of compounds, such as, for example, the phenolic acids or the
flavonoids, of which are particularly relevant the anthocyanins. These
molecules, due to their chemical structures with aromatic rings, have a
high antioxidant capacity which have proven to be quite beneficial for
many health conditions. Among their many health benefits, polyphenols
also have been described as providing important tools to prevent or help
in the treatment of diverse types of cancer, namely though the regulation
of cell signal transduction and gene expression, which allows controlling
the development of cancer cells. In this context the present chapter
highlights some scientific evidence corroborating the role of polyphenols
in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
