An Updated Review Summarizing the Pharmaceutical Efficacy of Genistein and its Nanoformulations in Ovarian Carcinoma.

Implementing lifestyle interventions as a primary prevention strategy is a cost-effective approach to reducing the occurrence of cancer, which is a significant contributor to illness and death globally. Recent advanced studies have uncovered the crucial role of nutrients in safeguarding women's health and preventing disorders. Genistein is an abundant isoflavonoid found in soybeans. Genistein functions as a chemotherapeutic drug against various forms of cancer, primarily by modifying apoptosis, the cell cycle, and angiogenesis and suppressing metastasis. Furthermore, Genistein has demonstrated diverse outcomes in women, contingent upon their physiological characteristics, such as being in the early or postmenopausal stages. The primary categories of gynecologic cancers are cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Understanding the precise mechanism by which Genistein acts on ovarian cancer could contribute to the advancement of anti-breast cancer treatments, particularly in situations where no specific targeted therapies are currently known or accessible. Additional investigation into the molecular action of Genistein has the potential to facilitate the development of a plant-derived cancer medication that has fewer harmful effects. This research could also help overcome drug resistance and prevent the occurrence of ovarian cancers.
