EXPLORING THE EFFICACY OF TRADITIONAL MEDICINES IN CANCER CARE: BRIDGING ANCIENT WISDOM WITH MODERN SCIENCE
Main Article Content
Аннотация:
Cancer stands as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide(1,2). To date, multiple interventions such as chemotherapy, surgical resection, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy are employed; however, the lack of therapeutic options for metastatic cancer, resistance to drug therapy, and the lack of targeted therapy are some of the major challenges(3). While extensive cancer management research is ongoing, the associated adverse effects and financial burdens underscore the urgent need for a more effective, side effect-free, easily accessible, and cost-efficient intervention in cancer treatment. Given the safe nature of traditional medicines, numerous studies have been investigated on many traditional drugs for their anti-cancer potential and found to be very effective.
