A study published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine suggested that red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) can be used to treat and prevent nasopharyngeal cancer. In the study, researchers at Chung Shan Medical University in China examined the antimetastatic properties of red raspberry extract on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.
Based on these findings, the Chinese researchers concluded that red raspberry extract exhibits anti-metastatic properties against nasopharyngeal cancer cells, and can, therefore, be used to treat and prevent nasopharyngeal cancer.
