Many herbs are used in treatment of breast cancer based on oriental medical records. After finding anti tumor effects of genistein in soy extracts in 1987, searching new substances that have anti-tumor effects in breast cancer is accelerated. In Korea, these trends of the research have been activated since 2000. But substance researches about breast cancer are much less than subatance researches about advanced gastric cancer, although the two cancers have similar incidence rate. And all of the researches that we found are in vitro experiments.
