Abstract

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a catechin, which is a type of flavonoid found in high concentrations in green tea. EGCG has been studied extensively for its potential health benefits, particularly in cancer. EGCG has been found to exhibit anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic, and pro-apoptotic effects in numerous cancer cell lines and animal models. EGCG has demonstrated the ability to interrupt various signaling pathways associated with cellular proliferation and division in different cancer types. EGCG anticancer activity is mediated by interfering with various cancer hallmarks. This article summarize and highlight the effects of EGCG on cancer hallmarks and focused on the impacts of EGCG on these cancer-related hallmarks. The studies discussed in this review enrich the understanding of EGCG’s potential as a therapeutic tool against cancer, offering a substantial foundation for scientists and medical experts to advance scientific and clinical investigations regarding EGCG’s possibility as a potential anticancer treatment.
