A major global health concern that causes severe sickness in many people is cancer. Cancer kills 1 in 8 men and 1 in 11 women. Benign and malignant cancers are classified according to the type of tissue or cell they arise from. It is addressed how oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes contribute to the genesis of cancer. Radiation, hormone therapy, gene therapy, and stem cell transplantation are among the many treatment possibilities that are discussed.

Abstract:

Today, we are witnessing an explosion of scientific concepts in cancer chemotherapy. It has been considered for a long time that genetic instability in cancer should be treated with drugs that directly damage the DNA. Understanding the molecular basis of malignant diseases shed light on studying phenotypic plasticity. In the era of epigenetics, many efforts are being made to alter the aberrant homeostasis in cancer without modifying the DNA sequence. One such strategy is modulation of the lysine acetylome in human cancers. To remove the acetyl group from the histones, cells use the enzymes tha

Abstract:

Despite the fact that life expectancies are increasing and the burden of infectious diseases is decreasing, global cancer incidence rates are on the rise.

Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, exemplifies the miserable situation.

There are different types of medicines available to treat cancers, but no drug is found to be fully effective and safe for humans. The major problem involved in the cancer treatments is the toxicity of the established drug and their side effects. Medicinal plants are used as folk medicines in Asian and African populations for thousands of years. 60% of the drugs for treating cancer are derived from plants.

Abstract:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth deadliest cancer in the world, with nearly 900,000 deaths annually. Although environmental and genetic factors as well as population aging are key in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, numerous studies have shown that dietary habits and nutrition may play both causal and protective roles in the development of colorectal cancer. "With the in-depth development and research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the anticolorectal cancer effects of "medicinal food and herbs" have been gradually explored, and have received widespread attention due to their

Abstract:

In recent years, the incidence rate of cancer has been on the rise all over the world, and the age of cancer patients has shown a younger trend, which seriously endangers patients’ health. Edible/medicinal mushrooms have not only become a new source of nutritional supplements but have also emerged as a promising adjunct to conventional medicine, either by directly or indirectly killing tumor cells and enhancing immunity, or through their use in conjunction with modern cancer therapies to enhance their efficacy or reduce their side-effects, improving patients’ quality of life.

Abstract:

The endocannabinoids system (ECS) has garnered considerable interest as a potential therapeutic target in various carcinomas and cancer-related conditions alongside neurodegenerative diseases. Cannabinoids are implemented in several physiological processes such as appetite stimulation, energy balance, pain modulation and the control of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). However, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics interactions could be perceived in drug combinations, so in this short review we tried to shed light on the potential drug interactions of medicinal cannabis.

Abstract:

Despite significant advances in early diagnosis and treatment, cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapy for the treatment of many diseases, including cancer. This therapy uses a combination of a photosensitizer (PS), light irradiation of appropriate length and molecular oxygen. The photodynamic effect kills cancer cells through apoptosis, necrosis, or autophagy of tumor cells. PDT is a promising approach for eliminating various cancers but is not yet as widely applied in therapy as conventional chemotherapy. Currently, natural compounds with photose
