Natural Products and Their Bioactive Compounds As Cancer Therapeutics

Cancer is a serious health problem worldwide. Due to the cancer burden, the patients have diminished quality of life. The frontline treatment for cancer is generally surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Alternatively, there are several natural products are already reported in pre-clinical and clinical level under scrutiny.

There are several studies in which these natural products either in the form of extract or as an isolated pure ingredient can be able to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells and animal models. This book documents all the natural agents that are reported against the various cancer types and their molecular mechanisms.

Natural Products and Their Bioactive Compounds as Cancer Therapeutics emphasizes the list of natural agents that can be used against all type of cancers. It shows the current state of research in the fields of natural products and their derivatives against cancer in preclinical and clinical models.

The information found in this book is essential to undergraduate, postgraduate students, research scholars, academicians, scientists, college tutors, and medical practitioners.
