Lack of success with standard treatments for cancer has led to continuous search for anticancer agents in botanic sources. Various polyphenolic constituents of some plants has shown potent chemopreventive effect in carcinogenesis models and induce cell growth inhibition and apoptosis in human tumor cells. Epidemiologic studies has suggested that consuming food and beverages rich in polyphenols is associated with a lower incidence of cancer. This paper will summerize current knowledge about preventive and therapeutic potential of polyphenols.
