Cranberry phytochemicals, especially proanthocyanins, quercetin, and ellagic and ursolic acids, have been investigated for a role in cancer treatment. Induction of apoptosis and inhibition of tumor proliferation via inhibition of cell invasion and migration have been suggested as mechanisms. In vitro stud...
