A Perspective review on role of various nutraceuticals in management of Cancer

Abstract

Depending on the form and location, cancer is a dangerous medical condition that is seldom treatable. Many therapies, such as hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, are used to treat cancer; however, a significant drawback of these
treatments is their multitude of side effects, which can include gastrointestinal issues, skin abnormalities, and hair loss. Nutraceuticals are useful strategy for managing cancer. A food or component of a diet that has physiological and medicinal benefits
and is used to prevent disease is called a nutraceutical. Research indicates that combination treatment is far more effective than a single nutraceutical in preventing cancer. Combination approaches for chemoprevention can involve two or more phytochemicals, a phytochemical that has been chemically synthesized and an effective medication, or a phytochemical that has been chemically produced and a natural nutrient. This review study aims to elucidate the relevance of nutraceuticals as chemopreventive agents.
