The incidence of cancer is related to genes  If the gene mutates and becomes too active, it will drive the occurrence of cancer  Similarly, if the tumor suppressor gene mutates and loses its function, it will also promote cancer  PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene prone to mutation  It has been found that an E3 ubiquitin ligase called WWP1 binds to PTEN, affecting its anti-cancer function  Inhibiting the function of WWP1 can liberate PTEN, restore the inhibition of PTEN on cancer, and thus play an anti-cancer role
Studies have confirmed that a natural compound called indole-3-methanol (I3C) can effectively inhibit the function of WWP1, which is very common in cruciferous plants such as broccoli
Eating cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli helps to treat cancer.
