Role of Ayurvedic drugs as possible chemo protectors in cancer

Cancer is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Although substantial progress has been made in the treatment and control of cancer progression, there are still significant flaws and space for improvement. During chemotherapy, a number of unfavorable side effects might arise. Natural therapies, such as the use of plant-derived compounds in cancer treatment, have the potential to lessen negative side effects. A few plant products are now being used to cure cancer. However, there are a slew of plant compounds with promise anti-cancer capabilities in vitro that have yet to be tested in humans. In light of this, Ayurveda, which takes a holistic approach to disease treatment, could be a viable alternative to individual plant isolates in the treatment of cancer. To assess the efficacy of these plant components in treating cancer in humans, more research is needed. The focus of this study will be on the plant-derived chemical compounds that have showed promise as anticancer medicines in recent years, as well as their probable mechanisms of action as chemo protectors as adjuvant to conventional cancer treatment
