Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer, totaling 50 thousand new cases per year, as well as being responsible for a high annual mortality rate. Some preventive measures are simple and easy to carry out, such as practicing physical activities, eating a healthy diet, not smoking, avoiding drinking alcohol, carrying out self-examinations and mammograms frequently. Several recent studies have demonstrated that the consumption of nutraceuticals rich in beta-glucans (β-glucans) can have a positive impact on both the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. β-glucans are natural polysaccharides found in the cell walls of fungi and yeast that promote the stimulation of cells that make up the immune system and modulation of tumor cells.
