A study on Curcumin and breast cancer was published in Cancer Research, Vol. 62, July 1, 2002, pp. 3868-75. This study found that use of Curcumin was as effective in preventing spread of breast cancer as Taxol in laboratory mice. In study mice were induced with breast cancer then tumors were removed such as with a mastectomy in humans. Then mice were divided into 4 groups. One was a placebo group, one received Curcumin, one received Taxol, and other Curcumin and Taxol. After 5 weeks study showed that half mice in Curcumin group had cancer spread to lungs. Only 22 percent of those in Curcumin plus Taxol group had seen cancer spread. 75 percent of Taxol only group saw cancer spread. The placebo group saw 95 percent of mice had cancer spread to lungs. These were amazing results.

Human studies are just beginning. But early signs are that simple safe spice may offer a safe way of preventing cancer and may also be a great way of aiding in treatment of Cancer.

It should be noted that a culture study showed that Curcumin reduced effects of several chemo drugs used for treating cancer.
