Phytotherapeutic Molecules & Antioxidants: A Novel & Secure Approach of Cancer Prevention

The document reviewed the potential of phytotherapeutic molecules and antioxidants as a novel and secure approach to cancer prevention. It highlighted the limitations and side effects of traditional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, which include hair loss and oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, caused by free radicals, was linked to cell injury and cancer development. Antioxidants, derived from natural sources like herbs, spices, vegetables, and fruits, were discussed for their ability to neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative damage. The review emphasized the promise of phytotherapeutic molecules, as secondary metabolites, in drug development for cancer treatment and prevention, suggesting that natural therapies could play a significant role in combating carcinogenesis.
