Flavonoids have shown anticarcinogenic activity in cancer cell lines, animal models, and some human studies. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models have become useful tools for identification of promising lead compounds in anticancer drug development. However, epidemiological and clinical studies are
