Does whole tomato extract help prevent and treat stomach cancer?


Researchers from the United States and Italy have found that whole extracts from two tomato varieties (San Marzano and Corbarino) are able to stop the growth of gastric cancer cells and inhibit their malignant characteristics. Study co-author Professor Antonio Giordano, director of the Sbarro Institute for Molecular Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia, and colleagues published their latest findings in the Journal of Cell Physiology.
Previous research has shown that compounds found in tomatoes, such as lycopene (a carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color) may help fight cancer. However, the researchers noticed that they had seen very few studies on the anti-cancer effects of whole tomatoes, and they set out to address gaps in this research.
The researchers examined the effects of two whole extracts, San Marzano and Corbarino, on gastric cancer cell lines. They found that each extract not only stopped the growth of stomach cancer cells, but also interfered with the metastasis of cancer cells.
In addition, the researchers found that the anti-cancer effects of whole tomato extracts were not specifically implemented in a specific compound. Their anti-tumor effects do not appear to be related to a specific ingredient (such as lycopene), which seems to indicate that the anti-cancer effects of tomatoes are effective overall.
This finding suggests that whole tomato extracts may help prevent and treat stomach cancer.
