Breast cancer is among the common causes of death in the world, it is known that genetic, endocrine and environmental factors play a role in its etiology. Intake of supplements in nutrition is important for the development of new agents for breast cancer treatment or to increase the effectiveness of existing drugs. It is suggested that micronutrients such as selenium taken from vegetable and animal foods such as seafood, legumes, meat, milk, and nuts may play a role in preventing or suppressing cancer by supporting the effectiveness of anticancer agents. In our study, 200 nM selenium was applied to a human breast cancer cell (MCF-7) line for 48 hours. Cell viability by trypan blue method, cell proliferation by XTT, total antioxidant (TAS)-oxidant capacity (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) values were analyzed by ELISA method. A decrease was detected in cell viability, proliferation, TAS, TOS values in the selenium applied group compared to the control group not to statistically significant and an increase was observed in the OSI value. According to the results obtained in our study, it was determined that selenium concentration, which appears to be effective in normal cells, does not show the same effect on breast cancer cells.
