Phytochemicals in Cancer Therapy and Beyond

Phytochemicals in Cancer Therapy and Beyond examines the role of natural products in the treatment of diseases, especially cancer. With a strong focus on the treatment of diseases, it demonstrates the mechanisms that natural products follow in treatment. In 24 chapters, the book describes not only regular cancer treatments, challenges, and developments in cancer treatment, in particular, phytochemicals and cellular mechanisms in cancer therapy, phytochemicals and molecular pathways in cancer, and Nano-scale delivery systems for phytochemicals in cancer therapy. The book concludes with clinical applications of phytochemical therapies. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in the field of oncology, disease therapy, diabetes mellitus treatment, cellular signaling scientists, and nanomaterial engineers.
