Cancer is one of the leading killers in the world and the incidence
is increasing, but most cancer patients and cancer survivors suffer
much from the disease and its conventional treatments' side
effects. In the past, clinical data showed that some complementary
and alternative medicine (CAM) possessed anticancer abilities, but
some clinicians and scientists have queried about the scientific
validity of CAM due to the lack of scientific evidence. There is
great demand in the knowledge gap to explore the scientific and
evidence-based knowledge of CAM in the anticancer field. With this
aim, a book series is needed to structurally deliver the knowledge
to readers. Recently there have been encouraging results from both
laboratory experiments and clinical trials demonstrating the
anticancer effects of herbal medicine. There is considerable
interest among oncologists and cancer researchers to find
anticancer agents in herbal medicine. This volume is a specialised
book presenting the up-to-date scientific evidence for anticancer
herbal medicine. This unique book provides an overview of the
anticancer herbal medicines and remedies, as well as a detailed
evidence-based evaluation of 18 common anticancer herbal medicines
covering their biological and pharmacological properties,
efficacies, herb-drug interactions, adverse effects, pre-clinical
studies, and clinical applications. Gathering international opinion
leaders' views, this volume will contribute great to the cancer,
academic, and clinical community by providing evidence-based
information on the anticancer efficacy of herbal medicine.
Readership Oncologists, cancer researchers, pharmacologists,
pharmaceutical specialists, Chinese medicine practitioners, medical
educators, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates in biomedical
disciplines, cancer caregivers, cancer patients.
