Comprehensive Review of the Potential Anti-Breast Cancer Properties of Various Medicinal Plants

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women throughout the globe, and its management can be difficult due to its complex etiology. Treatment with chemotherapy, surgical procedures, radiation treatment, and hormone therapy are among the most frequently utilized treatments. However, complications and resistance to multiple drugs can cause challenges. This overview addresses how organic medicinal products obtained from edibles and plants can assist with treatment of Breast cancer. The article scrutinizes the ways by which natural substances may exert beneficial impact in the prevention and management of breast carcinoma as well as offers knowledge regarding the therapeutic plant, including its family, part used, kind of extraction, and molecular mechanisms in breast carcinoma. Following an exhaustive analysis of the various plants, we discovered that Peganum normata, Ammi visnaga, Camellia sinensis, Curcuma longa, and Allium sativam L. had potential anti-breast cancer activities. These data were gathered from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
