Abstract

Cancer is still the world's biggest cause of death, despite enormous advancements in both the creation of innovative cancer treatments and basic cancer biology. Cancer's etiopathogenesis is intricate. In addition to genetic susceptibility, diet, lifestyle, and exposure to environmental pollutants are recognized environmental variables linked to cancer. High rates of cancer death are a result of treatment toxicity and eventual cancer return. The cancer treatments that are currently available, such as thermotherapy, radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, are not at all curative for numerous cancer types. Despite being the most often used cancer treatment, chemotherapy in particular is typically linked to a range of severe adverse effects. This succinct review aims to compile recent research on a few basic medicines with a particular emphasis on their therapeutic targets and helpful roles in cancer treatment and chemoprevention. It is thought that crude medications have neutraceutical effects on cancer patients, even if their pharmacological processes and biochemical roles in cancer biology and tumor chemoprevention are not entirely understood.

Keywords: Crude drug, cancer, inflammation, cell cycle, apoptosis.
