(ScotsMan) - Red wine could be key to fighting prostate cancer, as a compound found in grapes makes tumour cells more sensitive to treatment, scientists say.
Resveratrol, a compound found commonly in grape skins and red wine, has been shown to have several beneficial effects on human health, including on cardiovascular health and stroke prevention.
For the first time, researchers from the University of Missouri have discovered that it can make prostate tumour cells more susceptible to radiation treatment, increasing the chances of a full recovery from all types of prostate cancer, including aggressive tumours.
