Abstract
Background: Only few epidemiological studies have examined the associations between dietary intake of flavonoids and the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers. Although preliminary, there are some suggestive findings about the protective effects of high consumption of flavone luteolin, flavonol kaempferol, and total or individual isoflavones (daidzein, genistein, glycitein) against ovarian tumorigenesis. Results about the possible role of flavonoid intake on endometrial cancer risk are even more scarce and inverse association may be restricted only to certain female subgroups, such as to lean or postmenopausal women consuming high doses of isoflavones. Keywords: Flavonoids, isoflavones, anticancer action, epidemiological findings, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer.
