Abstract

One of the most dreadful medical conditions in the entire world is cancer, which is the second leading cause of mortality globally. The rising threat of cancer that are resistant to treatment highlights the urgent need for the development of more potent anticancer medicines because of the drawbacks and expense of standard therapy. Alternatives to contemporary cancer treatments, like herbal medicine are fairly affordable, and few plant-based medications are used to treat it. In-vitro and in-vivo studies are conducted on the phytochemicals to determine how they work to prevent cancer. This chapter provides an overview of prospective outcomes for anticancer chemicals obtained from plants in the Indian region. Many research has confirmed the anticancer efficiency of the Phytochemicals that are extracted from plants and demonstrated that these have an essential role in battling various cancer cell lines such as breast, stomach, oral, colon, lung, hepatic, cervical, and blood cancer cell lines.
