DIETARY SOURCE OF ANTI CANCER AGENTS
Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Rev& Res - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. There are several medicines available in the market to treat the various types of cancer but no drug is found to be fully effective and safe. The major problem in the cancer chemotherapy is the toxicity of the established drugs. In an effort to develop effective alternative strategies that increase the therapeutic efficacy and minimize the systemic toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents, more efforts are being directed towards the investigation of dietary sources and other phytotherapeutic agents for their synergistic efficacy in combination with anticancer drugs. Nutritional experts are searching for suitable naturally occurring dietary factors which are or may be anti-carcinogenic. The present text aims to provide information about dietary approaches in treatment and prevention of cancer.
