It is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. There is always a need for new drugs to treat and prevent this life-threatening disease. The plant kingdom produces second-line naturally occurring metabolites that are being investigated for their anti-cancer activities leading to the development of new therapeutic drugs. Global results continue to identify new anticancer chemicals from plants. In recent years out of fear of side effects, people have chosen to use more natural cancer products.
