Natural compounds have emerged as promising anticancer agents, offering diverse mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential. This book examines the role of natural products in cancer therapy, including their sources, chemical structures, and pharmacological activities. It explores the molecular pathways targeted by natural anticancer agents, their synergistic effects with conventional treatments, and the development of resistance. The book also discusses the challenges of isolating, characterizing, and optimizing natural compounds for clinical use. Designed for oncologists, pharmacologists, and researchers, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the potential of natural compounds to contribute to effective cancer treatments.
Vera Chen investigates natural compounds with potential anticancer properties for treating skin malignancies like melanoma. Her research explores the mechanisms through which these compounds induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth. Vera has authored numerous studies on the integration of natural anticancer agents into standard dermatological oncology practices. She also offers guidelines for clinicians to incorporate natural compounds into cancer treatment regimens effectively.
