Abstract

The study delved into the effectiveness of medicinal plants in cancer treatment, highlighting the benefits of their bioactive compounds as complementary or alternative therapies. Results underscored the increasing relevance of these resources in pharmacology, showcasing potential to inhibit tumor growth, control angiogenesis, and reduce inflammation. Integrating these therapies into cancer treatment plans can not only enhance therapeutic efficacy but also minimize debilitating side effects from conventional treatments, offering a more comprehensive and personalized approach to oncological patient care. However, future research needs to deepen understanding of how these compounds interact with other medications, while optimizing formulations and administration to translate their potential into reliable clinical benefits, aiming to contribute to higher survival rates and improved quality of life for patients.
