Compounds in cranberries may help improve the effectiveness of
platinum drugs that are used in chemotherapy to fight ovarian
cancer, researchers have found in a controlled laboratory study.
The scientists found that human ovarian cancer cells resistant to
platinum drugs became up to 6 times more sensitized to the drugs
after exposure to the cranberry compounds. The study will be
described in August at the American Chemical Society national
meeting in Boston.
