When you tear up while chopping onions, turn them into tears of joy. According to a study by researchers from Kumamoto University, Japan, a natural compound isolated from onions can help treat ovarian cancer. In epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), cancer cells are formed on the tissue covering the ovary. Researchers studied the effects of a natural onion compound, onion A or ONA, on a preclinical model of EOC. It was found that tumours showed inhibited growth after the introduction of ONA, which also enhanced the effects of anti-cancer drugs. ONA appears to activate anti-tumour immune responses by nullifying the immunosuppressive function of cancer cells, the study concluded.
