Determining the anticancer effects of herbal components in metastatic cell lines.
Cancer is treated by various ways which includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery or a combination of any of the above. Chinese Herbal medicines are found to be effective against various types of cancer. The treatments target at various mechanisms in order to suppress the tumor growth. Apoptosis...
