Phytochemicals and Hallmarks of Cancer: From Molecules to Medicine delves into the potential of phytomedicine to effectively address both established and emerging hallmarks of cancer, offering valuable insights into their translational applications from bench to bedside. The book provides comprehensive information about how the plant-derived product tackles cancer by targeting different hall markers that drive cancer progression. In 12 chapters the book not only describes the implications of plant products on cancer immunotherapy, gives insight in the hurdles in clinical translating plant derived products for cancer therapy, but also focuses on the therapeutic aspects of phytochemicals, providing insights into how understanding of mechanism of actions of phytochemicals can aid to develop innovative therapies. By addressing these knowledge and information needs Phytochemicals and Hallmarks of Cancer: From Molecules to Medicine is designed to be accessible to clinicians and researchers alike in the field of phytochemical applications in medicine.
- Provides a detailed overview of the molecular mechanisms through which phytochemicals can modulate various hallmarks of cancer
- Discusses the potential of phytochemicals to reverse the metastatic process via inhibition of migration, invasion, and angiogenesis
- Covers the implication of natural products as apoptosis inducers

Gautam Sethi
Dr. Gautam Sethi is a tenured Associate Professor in Department of Pharmacology, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. The focus of his research over the past few years has been to elucidate the mechanism(s) of activation of oncogenic transcription factors by carcinogens and inflammatory agents and the identification of novel inhibitors of these proteins for prevention of and therapy for cancer. The findings of his research work have so far resulted several publications in high impact factor peer reviewed journals and many international awards. He also serves as an editorial board member for over more than 15 international journals
