Abstract :
This article has been made to review some medicinal plants used for the treating cancer disease .The plant sources of India are likely to provide effective anticancer agents. Herbs have a vital role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Examples are provided in this review of promising bioactive compounds obtained from various plants with medicinal and other therapeutic uses. Researchers are looking at which of these phytochemicals might be possibilities for inhibiting or reducing the growth of cancer cells without causing any unfavourable side effects. There are a lot of phytochemicals and the analogues they were made from that have been identified as potential anticancer therapeutic possibilities. An effort has been made to highlight the most recent developments and noteworthy accomplishments in phytomolecule-based cancer therapies that target nuclear and cellular components through this succinct overview.
