Abstract

Cancer is clearly a worldwide problem. It is estimated that by 2020 there will be 16 million new cancer cases every year. The incidence and mortality rates for various cancers are similar, though not identical, among developed countries. Cancer is a leading cause of death. Cancer is considered one of the major causes of mortality in the world. Despite the recent advances in science, cancer has not been cured yet. The target of much research has been on the discovery of natural and synthetic compounds that can be used in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer. Natural products of either plant or animal origin that exhibited antitumor activity have been discovered. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in female worldwide. The significance of nutrition in protecting living organisms from the toxic effects of environmental carcinogens has gained increasing attention due to less toxicity and high efficacy against various diseases. The intake of soy and soy-based products is associated with a lower risk of several types of cancers, including breast cancer. There are many functional ingredients contained in soy foods such as soy protein, isoflavones, saponins, phytic acid, phytosterol, and phenolic acid.The chemopreventive effects of soybean and soy containing food products may be related to genistiein, daidzein and glycitein. Human have always been exposed to various natural sources of ionizing radiation emitted by the isotopes present in the earth’s crust, air, water and biosphere, and also originating from the outer space. In some parts of the globe the level of this natural background radiation is significantly higher than the world average with no adverse health effects. Today, people can be additionally exposed to “man-made” radiation delivered at high doses (e.g., during radiotherapy and radiation accidents as well as after detonations of nuclear weapons) or low doses (e.g., during production and distribution of radioactive materials and use of radiation sources for industrial and medical purposes). The low-level environmental and occupational exposures are much more common and distributed over much larger populations than the high-level exposures. The main task of this study is to evaluate the antitumor activity and protective role of fermented soy milk (FSM) with low dose of gamma radiation against tumor induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). In the present study was carried out on 120 virgin female rats were pretreated with FSM consecutively by oral gavage for 15 days at daily dose levels of 10 and 20 ml of FSM/kg body weight. MNU was administrated as 50mg MNU/kg body weight first dose was 15 day after FSM administration followed with second dose 20 days later.
