Cancer is a term used to refer to all malignant tumors
In spite of the enormous efforts and progress in the field of cancer research, the WHO estimates that the threatening of cancer disease will worsen (GLOBOCAN, 2008)
Plant materials have been extensively used as chemotherapy to treat various forms of cancer and several reviews on medical plants used in the treatment of cancer and tumor have been published(Koehn et al, 2005; Hartwell, 1970; Graham et al, 2010; Rahman et al, 2013; Cragg and Newman, 2003)
Summary
Cancer is a term used to refer to all malignant tumors. A neoplasm or tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue, the growth of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that of the normal tissue and continues in the same manner after cessation of the stimuli which have initiated it (Ashutosh, 2007). Cancer is the second most common disease-related cause of death of human population (Gibbs, 2000). In spite of the enormous efforts and progress in the field of cancer research, the WHO estimates that the threatening of cancer disease will worsen (GLOBOCAN, 2008). Plant materials (and their derived photochemical) have been extensively used as chemotherapy to treat various forms of cancer and several reviews on medical plants used in the treatment of cancer and tumor have been published(Koehn et al, 2005; Hartwell, 1970; Graham et al., 2010; Rahman et al, 2013; Cragg and Newman, 2003).
