Researchers from Queensland Cancer Research, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, and the National Health and Medical Research Council are interested in a mini protein found in sunflower seeds. This mini protein  could be the key to stopping tumors spreading in prostate cancer patients.

 The action of enzymes called proteases was a key event in tumour spread. The sunflower mini-protein, known as the protease inhibitor, was able to block these enzymes in test tube-based assays.
