'Reactive species' (RS) of various types are formed in vivo and many are powerful oxidizing agents, capable of damaging DNA and other biomolecules. Increased formation of RS can promote the development of malignancy, and the 'normal' rates of RS generation may account for the increased risk of cancer development in the aged. Indeed, knockout of various antioxidant defence enzymes raises oxidative damage levels and promotes age-related cancer development in animals. In explaining this, most…

In this review, free radicals as oxidizing agents, antioxidants as the immune system, and the role of oxidative stress in cancer, particularly breast cancer, have been investigated in the hope that better identification of the factors involved in the occurrence and spread of cancer will improve the identification of treatment goals.

It is argued that modulation of redox biochemistry represents a fruitful approach to cancer prevention and may also prevent cancer by initiating the death of the transformed cell via apoptosis or necrosis.

Antioxidants should be prohibited in patients with advanced stages of cancer and/or undergoing anticancer therapies, because some polyphenols allow them to selectively recognize tumor cells, and results are encouraging, which may revolutionize the conventional use of antioxidants in cancer.

Results indicate that in breast cancer and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer, a high level of ROS-derived DNA damage could be significant factor in the initiation stage of carcinogenesis, whereas in later stages carcinomas benefit from lower ROS levels that support tumour growth and survival via cellular signalling.

In vitro and in vivo data suggested that antioxidants inhibit the growth of tumor cells, however, clinical studies did not prove these benefits, neither carcinogenesis prevention nor efficacy of cancer treatments.

Oxygen is an essential element to conduct life processes but some of the metabolic byproducts e.g. reactive oxygen species, are toxic for living organisms and ROS are considered as a significant class of carcinogens participating in cancer initiation, promotion and progression.

Strategies to modulate cellular adaptation to oxidative stress may be used as an effective approach to overcome drug resistance in cancer cells under intrinsic stress.

The finding that a diet rich in antioxidants or the elimination of ROS by antioxidant compounds prevents the development of certain cancers provided the setting for subsequent investigation of the tumorigenic actions of reactive oxygen species.
