A research team led by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) of Singapore spent five years studying lung cancer cells using gene screening methods and discovered that vegetables such as broccoli contain compounds that inhibit cancer cells.

新加坡科技研究局领衔的科研团队历时五年，用基因筛查方法研究肺癌细胞，发现西蓝花等蔬菜含有抑制癌细胞的化合物。

The three researchers’ new findings confirm that certain lung cancer cells have a key mechanism by which “bodyguards” block anti-cancer drug resistance, and that common vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli can assist in the “bodyguard defenses” of cancer cells, helping cancer treatment drugs achieve their effects.

三位研究人员的科研新成果证实特定肺癌细胞有”保镖”阻隔抗癌耐药性的关键机理，而甘蓝和西兰花等常见蔬菜可以助攻“癌细胞的保镖防线”，有助于治疗癌症的药物达成效果。

Congratulations to Professor Hong Wanjin’s research team on this achievement! Professor Hong Wanjin is also a Senior Honorary Advisor to the Asia-Pacific Association for Science and Technology.

祝贺洪万进教授的科研团队又获得如此成果。洪万进教授也是亚太科技协会的高级荣誉顾问。
