February 2023 in “International Journal of Pharma Professional’s Research (IJPPR)” The review discussed the potential of nutraceuticals, which are foods or food components with health benefits, in cancer prevention. It highlighted that while traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy are effective, they often come with side effects such as gastrointestinal issues, skin changes, and hair loss. Recent research suggested that nutraceuticals might impact the cellular and molecular processes involved in cancer development. The review emphasized that combination therapies, involving multiple phytochemicals or a mix of synthetic and natural compounds, could be more effective in cancer prevention than single nutraceuticals. The chapter aimed to evaluate the chemopreventive significance of these nutraceuticals.
