Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent malignant disease in Europe. Epidemiological data suggests that the ingestion of phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables may contribute to reduce the incidence of cancer in humans. Cactus (Opuntia spp.) fruits and cladodes have been widely used as food and in folk medicine. The aim of this project is to evaluate the anticancer properties of Opuntia bioactive extracts in order to develop a promising natural chemotherapeutic or chemopreventive agent. Introduction
