Chinese Cabbage Reduces the Incidence of Liver Cancer

The liver is the largest internal organ found in the human which plays an essential role in filtering the blood from the digestive system before passing them to other parts of the body.

The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

Liver disease is a class of medical conditions characterized by the reduction partly or completely the function of the liver, including liver failure.

Liver cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the liver tissue.

Liver cancer at an early stage does not cause any symptoms. However, at the advanced stage, liver cancer cells can cause a wide range of symptoms including jaundice, abdominal swelling and pain, and dark urine and white stool accompanied by the general symptoms of cancers such as unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, chronic fatigue and tiredness and gastrointestinal discomforts.

The causes of liver cancer are associated with the alternation of cells DNA which normally begins in the cells on the surface of the inner lining.

The most common risk factors of liver cancer are infected by the hepatitis virus. However, in North America, due to overexpression of overweight and obese of the population, liver cancer may be slowly progressed from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through cirrhosis to liver cancer.


According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, every year, approximately, 1,900 men and 580 women are diagnosed with liver cancer, causing the death of 950 men and 270 women.

In 2017, 2,500 Canadians were diagnosed with liver cancer and 1,200 Canadians died from liver cancer.

Compared to the early stage of other cancer, the 5 years survival rate in the early stage diagnosis is only 31% and 43% of people with liver cancer diagnosed at stage 0 and 1.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-invasive tumor activity researchers compared the potential anticancer ability of Chinese cabbage powder, which is a complex water-soluble extract from Chinese cabbage by spray-drying at an outlet temperature of 130 °C on liver cancer.
According to the chemical analysis, Chinese cabbage powder processed at least 11 potential anticancer substances.

In a 90 days animal experiment, 10% of Chinese cabbage powder in drinking water could improve the plasma micronutrient status, inhibit the formation of aflatoxin B1-DNA adducts in liver cells in the initiation of tumor growth.

Furthermore, also in vivo, 10% of Chinese cabbage powder effectively reduced the incidence of liver tumors induced by aflatoxin B1 from 6.67% to 0%.

The dose analysis assays suggested that10% may be the minimal effective dose to prevent the occurrence of early liver tumors.

Collectively, researchers wrote, "This study will help elucidate the basis of epidemiological observations of dietary cancer prevention in humans, as well as explore related mechanisms".

Taken altogether, Chinese cabbage may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
