Abstract
The anti-ageing and anti-tumour effects of Fermented Papaya Preparation (FPP®) A new neo-adjuvant cancer therapy?
Highlights
The fruit of the Carica Papaya plant has long been celebrated as a champion of traditional indigenous practices for its potent digestive, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties
Antioxidants are compounds that defend our cells from oxidative stress (DNA damage inflicted by Reactive Oxygen Species [ROS]) leading to oxidation, which is when a molecule loses an electron, becoming ‘unstable’
Professor Fais and his colleagues investigated the effects of orally administered FPP® in mice inoculated with B16 melanoma
Summary
In the growth and metastasis (spreading) appearing in ancient Mesopotamia, around 6000 BC. Prevention and early diagnosis of telomerase levels in the plasma and passed down the oesophagus into the melanoma are the most promising led to an increase in telomere length These results are consistent with previous effective, as well as proving less distressing melanomas carry with them a poor studies that have demonstrated that for the murine (rodent) participants. Treatments such as chemotherapy which compared to untreated mouse controls, Professor Fais and his colleagues at the are commonly used to treat cancer and reduction in the tumour size was NIH conducted further research into are known to increase ROS levels and observed 13 days after inoculation, the health benefits of FPP® in 2020, oxidative stress in the body. The promising results highlighted in these studies pave the way for a possible new neo-adjuvant therapy, to be administered before the primary treatment (such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy), with hopes that it will improve prognosis and primary treatment effectiveness, giving fresh hope to cancer patients and physicians
