ABSTRACT
Phytoestrogens are nonsteroidal chemical compounds synthesized by plants, they
exert estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity, and some of them are widely found in
human diets. They are subject of interest since present high biological activity due
to their properties to modulate several important cellular processes such as cell cycle
and death, transcription, cell signaling, among others. As a result of several in vitro
and animal studies, as well as epidemiological studies in humans, they have been
attributed health benefits for diverse conditions. However, because of their capacity
to function as agonists or antagonists (depending on the cellular context) of estrogen
receptor, they might also elicit adverse health effects as well. In this review, we focus
on the existing evidence about the effect of phytoestrogens in various cancer models,
besides their mechanisms of action.
