Abstract

Research has shown that natural secondary metabolites have some anticancer properties and can play a role in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. These metabolites are found in various berries and vegetables and work via different mechanisms, such as by suppressing inflammation, suppressing angiogenesis and proliferation, and suppressing oxidative stress. The effectiveness and/or harm of these plant-based metabolites on the prevention and treatment of colon cancer are controversial and largely unproven. This chapter presents a review on how plant-based metabolites work and their efficacy in the prevention of colon cancer.
