P109: Anticarcinogenic plants for oncology: Nutraceuticals replacing traditional chemotherapy? An in vitro and in vivo investigation with zebrafish models of human breast cancer
Despite the advancements in targeted radiation and chemotherapy, these treatments still have limitations and pose risks to healthy tissue. However, alternative therapies, also referred to as nutraceuticals, offer potential solutions in the fight against different diseases including breast cancer without harmful side effects. Screening herbal extracts such as persimmon leaves and Mediterranean herbs like marjoram and thyme is the research avenue to determine their therapeutic indexes and the translational applicability for human patients.
