Natural Compounds in Cancer Prevention and Treatment

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and despite the availability of numerous anticancer drugs, many are expensive and have serious side effects. Natural compounds, on the other hand, are often non-toxic and inexpensive, making them an attractive alternative for cancer prevention and treatment. This book, edited by Sahdeo Prasad and Amit Tyagi, explores the chemopreventive and anti-cancer activities of various natural and dietary compounds found in fruits, vegetables, spices, legumes, nuts, grains, and cereals.

Contributions from authors around the globe highlight the potential use of these derivatives against cancer treatment, providing updated information on their biochemical mechanisms. This comprehensive guide is intended for researchers, clinicians, patients, academicians, industrialists, and students seeking the latest information for their experimental plans, including clinical trials. It also aims to raise awareness among cancer patients, nutritionists, and the general public about cost-effective therapeutic alternatives available for cancer therapy.
