Phytoestrogen supplements are commonly utilized by women for relief from menopausal symptoms. Some research suggests that certain phytoestrogens may cause cellular apoptosis, indicating significance as an anti-cancer treatment in addition to menopause treatment. T47D cells, a cell line acquired from cancerous breast ductal cells, were cultured and then treated with biochanin A and resveratrol. Results suggest these phytoestrogens cause apoptosis of T47D cells.
