The Root Veggie That Inhibits Bladder Cancer Cells

Intake of function food beetroot regularly not only lowers the early occurrence but also provides a natural treatment of bladder cancer without inducing adverse effects.

Bladder cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth and multiplied disorderly and uncontrollably in bladder tissues.

According to statistic, men are 4 times like to get bladder cancer in compared to women. The condition is the 9th common cancer worldwide.

Every year, approximately 400, 000 new cases are diagnosed. The 5 years of survival rate included all stage of bladder cancer is about 77% in compared to 70% and 65% of 10 years and 15 years respectively.

The survival rate of early diagnosed with bladder cancer is at 98%.

The causes of the bladder are unknown. However, some researchers suggested that smoking and tobacco used is one major cause of bladder cancer.

Long-term exposure to chemicals and irritation of the lining of the bladder due to infection are associated with risk factors of the disease.


Most common symptoms of bladder cancer are blood in urine accompanied by painful urination,... and pelvic pain. You should check with your doctor right the way, you experience some of these symptoms.


Dr. Martin C. S. Wong the lead scientist at the joint study conducted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong and other institutes said, "Many European countries experienced incidence rise. A substantial mortality reduction was observed in most countries, yet increases in mortality rates were observed in the Philippines and Iceland. These findings identified countries where more preventive actions are required"(4).


Beet, best known as the beetroot or garden beet and belonging to the amaranth family, is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall.

According to the University of Urbino 'Carlo Bo', betaxanthins and betacyanins, isolated from beetroot exerted a significant anti-cancer effect in testing bladder cancer cell lines, through the expression of antioxidant and proapoptotic activities.

The anti cancer property of beet root also displayed a strong anti-angiogenesis by blocking the cancer cell in established new blood vessel signaling.


When used combination with Vitexin-2-O-xyloside, an apigenin flavone glucoside, betaxanthins and betacyanins also exerted a strong antiproliferative activity in bladder cancer cell lines, intrinsically and extrinsically in the expression of apoptosis.

The study also indicated that this combination when used conjunction in conventional chemotherapy not only enhance the effectiveness of treatment in bladder cancer but also overcome the adverse effect of toxicity and multidrug resistance of cancer cells.

Furthermore, in other study conducted by the same university, Betacyanins (BC) purified from beetroot (Beta vulgaris var. Rubra L.) tested, alone or in combination with vitexin-2-O-xyloside (XVX) also isolated from the same vegetable enhanced the ability to reduce the proliferation rate in T24 bladder cancer cells, synergistically by inhibition of protein or gene in promoted cell survival and enhanced cancer apoptosis.

Taking together, a diet enriched with these bioactive molecules of beetroot could be used as functional food in the prevention and treatment of human bladder cancer.
