In 2014, Professor Hsien-Yeh Hsu of Yang-Ming University in Taiwan published a study in Oncotarget: Fucoidan inhibition of lung cancer in vivo and in vitro: role of the Smurf2-dependent ubiquitin proteasome pathway in TGFβ receptor degradation. In this study, scientists explored the potential of Oligo Fucoidan (from Hi-Q Marine Biotech), a polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweeds, to inhibit lung cancer growth. Oligo Fucoidan has shown promise in reducing tumor cell proliferation.

Experiencing frequent stomachaches can be more than just a minor inconvenience. While many people might dismiss these pains as a result of indigestion or stress, persistent stomachaches could be an early warning sign of stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer. Understanding the symptoms and seeking timely medical advice can be crucial for early detection and treatment.

Introduction: Seaweed, a common edible marine plant, is gaining attention for its potential health benefits, including its ability to combat prostate cancer. Recent research has focused on four types of seaweed commonly found in Taiwan and their effects on prostate cancer cells.

Recently, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting in San Diego, researchers explored why more young people worldwide are being diagnosed with cancer. According to the American Cancer Society's 2023 report, 20% of cancer patients diagnosed in 2019 were under the age of 55, a figure that has doubled since 1995.

In recent breakthroughs, Fucoidan, a complex carbohydrate derived from brown seaweeds, has emerged as an adjunct therapy in the fight against breast cancer.
