During this reaction the immune system overload is rated as one of the factors triggering cancer . Therefore , selenium is considered to help the immune system to prevent and treat cancer . According to researchers from the University of Copenhagen , the results of this study could help researchers develop treatments for cancer .
The immune system has been designed to eliminate things that do not normally in the body . This could be a change in the cells and the growth of cancer cells . But sometimes the cancer cells have a mechanism that makes the immune system does not recognize it so that they are easier to develop.
This usually occurs in the skin cancer melanoma , prostate cancer , or cancer of the blood . This type of cancer is made with a weakened body strength makes the immune system performance becomes redundant , as reported by the Daily Health Post ( 27/11 ) .
" We found that certain selenium found in garlic and broccoli can withstand serious cancers such as melanoma , prostate cancer , and several types of blood cancer or leukemia , " said Professor Søren Skov .
Currently researchers continue to learn about the mechanisms of disease and aggressive cancers such as cancer of the reproductive organs , blood , and skin . The results of a study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry is regarded as a new step that paves the way for better treatment and prevention of cancer in the future .
