A Review on Plant Based Phytoconstituents for the Management of Breast Cancer
Main Article Content
Abstract
One of the main causes of cancer-related fatalities worldwide is breast cancer, poses challenges in treatment due to resistance and side effects of hormone therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Despite their efficacy, these modalities become less effective over time, highlighting the need for alternative approaches to improve outcomes in breast cancer management. Adopting a supplementary treatment strategy, however, can be a significant solution in this case because it is well known that substances obtained from natural sources have strong anticancer properties. Plant-based products have been demonstrated to be excellent sources of cutting- edge anti-cancer medications throughout medical history. Ongoing research focuses on identifying medicinal plants and natural products for novel breast cancer therapies. Numerous plant-derived compounds have been evaluated, showing promise in breast cancer treatment. This exploration underscores the potential of natural sources in developing effective therapeutic strategies against breast cancer. Therefore, it is expected that plants may offer prospective bioactive substances for the creation of novel "leads" in the fight against breast cancer. Phytoconstituents derived from plants are useful for alternative breast cancer therapy due to their activities and their synergistic activity with other medications.
