O papel das isoflavonas na prevenção do câncer de mama

Abstract

Breast cancer is characterized as a neoplasm that affects an abnormal growth of breast cells, caused by one or more genetic mutations, causing a tumor with the potential to invade other organs. The emergence of breast cancer is linked to the lifestyle and environment beyond the genetic factors. The objective of this study is to evaluate, through a literature review, the influence of the consumption of isoflavones in the prevention of breast cancer. The isoflavone substance present in soybeans produces an anticancer effect, preventing several cells from producing carcinogenesis, acting in the body as a chemopreventive. The present study consists of an exploratory and descriptive study carried out through a review of the literature. In view of the study presented, all the women should be advised to carry out a characteristic diet plan, showing the importance of the chemopreventive compounds, ie, biologically active, present in the isoflavones, which act in the perspective of reducing the rate of new cases of breast cancer.
