| anticarcinogenic agents | Agents that reduce the frequency or rate of spontaneous or induced tumours independently of the mechanism involved. They differ from antineoplastic agent in that they prevent neoplasms from forming. The anticarcinogenic substances can be divided into three categories. The first consists of compounds that prevent the formation of carcinogens from precursor substances. The second group consists of "blocking agents" which inhibit carcinogenesis by preventing carcinogenic agents from reaching or reacting with critical target sites in the tissues. The third group is the "suppressor agents" which act by suppression of expression of neoplasia in cells previously exposed to carcinogens that would otherwise cause neoplasms. (12 Dec 1998) |

| anticarcinogen |
A substance or agent that counteracts the effect of a carcinogen or a cancer-producing substance. Ongoing research is investigating the anticarcinogenic role of the isoflavones found in soyfoods. Isoflavones are found in significant amounts only in soybeans and soyfoods. A 1990 National Cancer Institute workshop identified five different chemical classes of anticarcinogens in soybeans ?phytosterols, phytates,saponins, protease inhibitors, and isoflavones.
