Abstract

When it comes to cancers affecting women, breast cancer ranks first and foremost. Worldwide, it ranks high as a cause of mortality for females and the second most common cancer detected. Traditional cancer treatments, such radiation and chemotherapy, have a high death rate when it comes to breast cancer. In addition, tumours that are resistant to more than one medicine pose a significant challenge to cancer treatment and account for a disproportionate share of cancerrelated fatalities. A lot of research is currently focused on finding breast cancer alternative therapy systems that may be utilised as therapies, adjuvant treatments alongside existing treatments, or chemopreventive drugs in order to tackle this dangerous problem. Few herbal medications are advancing into the preclinical or clinical stages, despite their effectiveness in treating breast cancer and its complications.
