Lung Cancer - Prevention/Treatment

These Substances may Prevent or Treat Lung Cancer

Alkaloids

 Capsaicin may inhibit the proliferation of Lung Cancer cells.  ^[1]

 Piperine may help to prevent (carcinogens-induced) Lung Cancer.  ^[2]

Amino Acids

 The N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) form of Cysteine may help to prevent and treat Lung Cancer.  ^[3]

 Theanine may help to prevent/treat Lung Cancer.  ^[4]

Antioxidants

 Butylated Hydroxyanisole(BHA) may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[5]

Carbohydrates

 D-Glucaric Acid may help to prevent Lung Cancer (especially Lung Cancer caused by Tobacco smoking).  ^[6]

 Fucoidan may inhibit the of Lung Cancer.  ^[7]

 Glucosamine may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[8]

 Kureha (a Polysaccharide present in Karawatake Mushrooms) may prolong lifespan and duration of remission in Lung Cancer patients.  ^[9]

 Lentinan may reduce the growth rate of Lung Cancer, may extend the lifespan of Lung Cancer patients and may cause total regression (cures) in 25% - 75% of Lung Cancer patients.  ^[10]

 PSP may improve the condition of Lung Cancer patients.  ^[11]

Carotenoids

 Alpha-Carotene may help to prevent Lung Cancer:  ^[12]

 Alpha-Carotene is believed to be ten times more effective for the prevention of Lung Cancer compared to Beta-Carotene.

 Beta-Carotene may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[13]

 Crocetin may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[14]

 Cryptoxanthin may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[15]

 Lutein may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[16]

 Lycopene may inhibit the proliferation of Cancer Cells involved in Lung Cancer.  ^[17]

 Zeaxanthin may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[18]

Enzymes

 The body increases its endogenous production of (Mitochondrial) Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) in the presence of Lung Cancer (this implies that exogenous SOD may benefit the treatment of Lung Cancer).  ^[19]

Hormones

 DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) may protect against Lung Cancer.  ^[20]

 The body's production of Melatonin declines in Lung Cancer patients (due to Lung Cancer causing a decline in the production of one of Melatonin's precursors - Interleukin-2).  Melatonin may increase the effectiveness of Chemotherapy for the treatment of Lung Cancer.  ^[21]

Hydrazines

 Hydrazine Sulfate may improve survival in Lung Cancer patients.  ^[22]

Immune System Chemicals

 The body's production of Interleukin 2 (IL-2) declines in Lung Cancer patients. 

Lignans

 Sesamin may inhibit the proliferation of Lung Cancer cells.  ^[23]

Lipids

 Alkylglycerols may help to prevent/treat Lung Cancer.  ^[24]

 Betulinic Acid may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Lung Cancer cells.  ^[25]

 Carvacrol may inhibit the growth of Lung Cancer cells.  ^[26]

 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[27]

 Limonene may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[28]

 Perillyl Alcohol may facilitate the apoptosis (cell death) of Lung Cancer cells.  ^[29]

 Squalene may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[30]

Minerals

 Copper may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[31]

 Germanium may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[32]

 Selenium may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[33]

 Sodium Bicarbonate may be a viable therapy for Lung Cancer.

 Zinc may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[34]

Nucleic Compounds

 Supplemental Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) may prevent Cachexia and may improve the quality of life of Lung Cancer patients.  ^[35]

Organic Acids

 Inositol Hexaphosphate may help to prevent and treat Lung Cancer.  ^[36]

 Optimal endogenous Uric Acid levels may help to prevent Tobacco-induced Lung Cancer. 

Prescribed Medications

 Aspirin may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[37]

 Methotrexate (administered intravenously in high doses) is commonly utilized for the treatment of Lung Cancer - it prevents the further reproduction of Lung Cancer cells:

 Caution:  in addition to preventing the reproduction of Cancer cells, Methotrexate also inhibits normal, healthy Cell reproduction.

 Low-dose Naltrexone may be useful for the treatment of (non-small cell) Lung Cancer.

 Paclitaxel is sometimes prescribed for the treatment of Lung Cancer.

Phenolic Acid

 Ferulic Acid may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[38]

 Gallic Acid may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[39]

Polyphenols

 Apigenin may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Lung Cancer cells.  ^[40]

 Curcumin may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[41]

 Ellagic Acid may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[42]

 Epigallo-Catechin-Gallate (EGCG) may help to prevent Lung Cancer.  ^[43]

 Genistein may help to prevent Lung Cancer and may help to kill Lung Cancer cells (by stimulating the process of Apoptosis).  ^[44]
