NEW YORK: A broccoli compound may help prevent or treat breast cancer by targeting cancer stem cells, according to a new study reported by USNEWSONE.

Stem cells are the small number of cells that fuel a tumour’s growth.

The study from researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center tested sulforaphane, a component of broccoli and broccoli sprouts, in both mice and cell cultures.

Researchers found sulforaphane targeted and killed the cancer stem cells and prevented new tumours from growing.
