Thank you for your reference. I have read a little about the use of broccoli sprouts for cancer but the information is limited. This is why I would like to know if anyone on the panel or their survivors know of anyone who has ever used these sprouts for treatment of their pancreatic cancer and if so what the effect was.
Thanks.

davod,

Sorry, but I have no first hand knowledge.

I scanned quite a few document on-line, and saw little to indicate any real correlation or clear ability for broccoli sprouts to affect cancer treatment. If there had been, I can only speculate the scientific community would have synthesize the components by now.

I also have no first-hand knowledge, but I was curious since I'd never heard anything about this. I poked around on the MSKCC link and spotted this under the "what else do I need to know" header:
"Talk to your healthcare provider if you have advanced pancreatic cancer. Using high-dose broccoli sprout supplements while on chemotherapy can increase nausea (feeling of throwing up) and vomiting (throwing up)."
I didn't see anything that suggested the substance should be used as a treatment. Is this something you're using currently or considering?
