Abstract

One of the leading causes of mortality in the world, cancer has a number of pathologic components. The onset and progression of cancer disease states have been connected to genetic anomalies, infection or inflammation, poor dietary habits, radiation exposure, occupational stress, and/or toxin intake. Early cancer diagnosis and treatment have been found to increase the likelihood of survival and recovery, yet anticancer pharmaceutical side effects continue to have detrimental consequences that outweigh the advantages of therapy in terms of hospitalization and survival. Recently, it has been demonstrated that a number of naturally occurring bioactive compounds have anticancer properties, which means they may eliminate changed or cancerous cells without damaging their healthy counterparts. The investigation on four organic bioactive extracts, each of which has a unique polyphenolic profile, will be examined in this study. According to reports, the following activities in particular have been shown to support nutrition during cancer treatment: Suppression of cell growth, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. On the other hand, natural antioxidants may assist patients in adhering to anticancer therapy by minimizing the negative effects of currently available anticancer medications. In order to increase responsiveness and compliance in cancer patients, nutraceutical supplementation may be studied in conjunction with current anticancer medication therapy. It should be noted, however, that it is important to confirm that tests were conducted in accordance with protocol before presenting findings from research employing bioactive plant preparations.
