Abstract

Currently, it is almost impossible to treat advanced cancer patients. Preventive approaches which attempt to control carcinogenesis have been adopted based on the idea that fixing small impairments is easier than larger ones [1]. It is important to prevent cancer development by modulating different targets and maintaining cell homeostasis. Thai traditional medicine (TTM), a holistic medicine which focuses on maintaining the balance of the four elements of the body provides a good framework for strategies for cancer prevention. The aim of this study was to evaluate cytotoxicity of medicinal plants used in cancer prevention by local healers/traditional medical practitioners as a first step of a systematic study of these plants.
