Fucoidan present in brown algae induces apoptosis of human colon cancer cells
Fucoidan can inhibit the proliferation of colon cancer cell lines such as HT-29, HCT-116, and SW620.
Anticancer Effects of Different Seaweeds on Human Colon and Breast Cancers
Study exploring the anticancer effects of various seaweeds on human colon and breast cancer cell lines.
Apoptosis inducing activity of Fucoidan in HCT-15 Colon Carcinoma Cells
Fucoidan has been shown to activate caspases and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathways, leading to the destruction of colon cancer cells.

Ten Years of Research on Fucoidan and Cancer: Focus on Its Antiangiogenic and Antimetastatic Effects
Fucoidan may suppress VEGF, which tumors use to develop blood vessels, potentially “starving” the tumor of nutrients.

Fucoidan reduces the toxicities of chemotherapy for patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer
Some studies show fucoidan enhances the effects of chemotherapy drugs like 5-FU and oxaliplatin while reducing side effects.
