Researchers at Japan's Kumamoto University have found that the ONA compound found in onions may help treat ovarian cancer.. It has anti-cancer properties. It is reported by VistaNews.

Experts note that after additional studies, the component can be used in the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer.. The five-year survival rate for all this type of cancer is only 40%, and 80% of patients who have undergone chemotherapy have a recurrence.. In a flask study, scientists unexpectedly found that cancer cells in the ovaries stop growing rapidly after ONA administration..
