Cancer is a group of cell mutated diseases caused by the alternation of DNA.
Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the tissue of an organ. At early, most people with cancer are asymptomatic.
At the later stage, due to the size and the tumor, patients may experience general cancer symptoms such as unintended weight loss, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort and loss of appetite and localized symptoms such as severe pain and bleeding.
The exact causes of cancer are not identified. However, most prevalent factors associated with the cancer onset include age, family history, long-term exposure to certain cancer-induced chemicals, use of tobacco and excessive alcohol drinking,..... the list goes on and on, depending on the types of cancer.
Some researchers suggested that the most common risk factor that causes cancer in the Western world may be associated with widespread obesity.
Dr. Karen Basen-Engquist, in the evaluation of obesity risk of cancer, said, "In the United States, approximately 85,000 new cancer cases per year are related to obesity. Recent research has found that as the body mass index increases by 5 kg/m2, cancer mortality increases by 10%".
And, "High priorities for future research involve additional work on the underlying mechanisms, and trials to examine the effect of lifestyle behavior change and weight loss interventions on cancer and intermediate biomarkers".
The findings strongly indicated the risk of cancer is increased substantially in obese.
Green peas are species of Pisum Sativum belongings to the family Fabaceae and native to western Asia from the Mediterranean Sea to the Himalaya Mountains. The pea is a green, pod-shaped vegetable and a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world.
On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of cancer, researchers investigated the impact of green pea (GP) extracts anti-DNA alternative activity.
According to the studies,
* The extracts of P. sativum have been found to be pharmacologically active inducing anticancer effects.
* Compared to the effect of Bowman-Birk trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitor, a potential cancer chemopreventive agent, with the protease inhibitors, rTl1B and rTl2B, P. sativum seed showed similar significant activity.
* In human colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29, P. sativum extracted lectins from Egypt exhibited the antiproliferative property to liver cancer cell line.
* In MCF-7 (breast), HepG-2 (liver), HEP-2 (larynx), and HCT-116 (colon). an extracted lectin from leaves and buds of P. sativum demonstrated cytotoxic property.
* Recently, the seed extracts also showed the cytotoxic effects on LS174 (colon), MDA-MB-453 (breast), A594 (lung), and K562 (blood) cell lines.
Taken altogether, green peas may be considered a functional food for the prevention of cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
