Recently, published in the Journal of cell physiology, researchers from the United States and Italy found that the full extract of San Marzano tomato and corbarino tomato varieties (http://www.chemdrug.com/sell/16/) can prevent the growth of gastric cancer cells and inhibit their malignant characteristics Previous studies have shown that lycopene, a compound found in tomatoes, may help fight cancer However, there are few studies on the anti-cancer effect of the whole tomato, so researchers began to study the anti-cancer effect of the whole tomato The researchers examined the effects of two tomato extracts, San Marzano and corbarino, on gastric cancer cell lines (http://www.chemdrug.com/sell/76/) It is found that each extract can not only prevent the growth of gastric cancer cells, but also interfere with the metastasis of cancer cells The researchers also found that the anti-cancer effect of tomato extracts did not specifically implement to a specific compound, and the anti-tumor effect of tomato was not related to a specific component, which also showed that the whole tomato has anti-cancer effect Through the above research, the scientists also showed that maybe the whole tomato extract may help to prevent and treat gastric cancer
