Chemical in onion may treat ovarian cancer

A study recently has claimed that a natural compound isolated from onions may help treat epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Researchers from Kumamoto University in Japan studied the effects of onion in A (ONA) on a preclinical model of EOC.

According to Geneva-based World Health Organization, EOC is the most common type of ovarian cancer.

The researchers said that EOC has a 5-year survival rate of about 40%.

ONA was also found to enhance the effects of anti-cancer drugs – by strengthening their anti proliferation capabilities.
