Abstract: Broccoli is a cruciferae vegetable which riches in sulforaphane and selenium(Se). Lots of studies demostrate that sulforaphane or Se can reduce cancer risk. Recent research showed that Se have competitive effect with sulfur. But sulfur is an essential component for sulforaphane， so it would reduce the sulforaphane content when plant uptake Se. However， sulforaphance and Se has synergistic effect in cancer prevention. The relationship between sulforaphane and Se is increasingly concerned. It will be more important for human health. The present paper is a review of the results of current researches concerning on sulforaphane and Se-rich capability and their relationship. Furthermore， we conclude the machanisms of cancer prevention with sulfroraphance and Se.
