Treatment of breast cancer with natural products
The book 'Treatment of Breast Cancer with Natural Products' by Yachana Mishra and Vijay Mishra explores the use of natural products in the treatment of breast cancer. It provides an extensive overview of various natural compounds such as curcumin, paclitaxel, quercetin, resveratrol, sulforaphane, allicin, berberine, and vinca alkaloids, detailing their anticancer mechanisms, delivery systems, and clinical trials. The book aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for clinicians, biochemists, and medical students interested in alternative treatments for breast cancer. It discusses the potential benefits and limitations of natural products as therapeutic agents, emphasizing the need for further research in this area. The authors intend for the book to stimulate interest in non-toxic treatment alternatives and to inform both academic and clinical audiences about advancements in breast cancer management.
