Given that brain tumor cells highly depend on xCT (cystine/ glutamate antiporter)-GSH (reduced glutathione) axis in the tumor micro-environment, the food intake to block xCT-GSH axis in terms of redox stress is considered to be helpful for the improvement of the efficacy of conventional anti-tumor therapies. Sulforaphane, a major compound contained in broccoli and cauliflower, is known to activate Nrf2 and to prevent tumor initiation. However, you have to keep in mid that redox stress is a double-edged sword for tumor cell survival and  disease progression. Recent investigations surprisingly have shown that anti-redox therapies ironically ameliorate the disease progression partially due to the enhanced adapation to oxidative stress of tumor cells. Anyway, the administration of N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is easy to be introduced to promote the GSH synthesis, but you have to take care of the risk of the selection of xCT-GSH axis-activated tumor cells as compared with normal neurons or other tissue cells.

Salut Thierry,

Je suis vraiment désolé d'apprendre cette nouvelle. Il y a deux livres phares sur ce sujet: Le Vrai Régime anticancer, par Prof David Khayat, et Anticancer, de David Servan Schreiber.  Je pense que celui de Khayat est le plus "scientifique", mais l'autre est considéré comme remarquable aussi.  Bonne chance à ta fille (et à vous). D'après ce que je sais, les cancers du cerveau de l'enfant ont un bon pronostic.  Si je peux être d'une quelconque utilité n'hésite pas!

Amicalement

Dan
