Green tea polyphenols (EGCG is the most abundant), strong antioxidants, are considered active components responsible for anticancer properties. The study will focus on the anti-tumor properties of this tea, applying them in a practical manner: adjuvant in the treatment of colon and breast cancer, determining if green tea has a cytotoxic effect over two human tumor cell lines (WiDr, MCF-7), its effectiveness in inhibiting their growth and if it can or not help potentiate chemotherapeutic agents.
