Abstract

Urological cancers, including prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer are problematic human diseases worldwide. Current strategies for the treatment of these cancers are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or a combination of mentioned therapies. Due to the high mortality and morbidity rate of urological cancers and possible side effects of available standard treatments, searching for more effective and safe treatments is a critical issue. The beneficial properties of natural compounds, such as berberine, have been widely investigated in human diseases.
