RESUMEN
Green tea as a main beverage is consumed worldwide. In the last few years, .green tea has been shown to induce apoptosis and to inhibit the infiltration and metastasis of prostate cancer by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Epidemiologic investigations and clinical trials also have demonstrated the chemopreventive role of green tea in prostate cancer, such as reducing the possibility of carcinogenesis of high-grade prostatic in-traepithelial neoplasia, and is hopeful to be applied as chemopreventive agent of prostate cancer in the future.
