Studies suggest that papaya pulp is enriched with carotenoids, beta-carotene, and lycopene. Lycopene being highly reactive towards free radicals serves as an effective cancer agent. Lycopene has been found to be protective against prostate cancer. It has been found to induce cancer cell death and has shown anti-metastatic activity. Enzymes from papaya were found to destroy proteins that provide protection to the tumors and were effective against cervix, breast, liver, lung, and pancreas cancer.
