Treatment of Breast Cancer with Natural Based Products is designed to provide a wide spectrum of information and knowledge on phytotherapeutics in breast cancer treatment. With a strong focus on the established research and technology on phytoconstituent-based nanocarriers, the book also covers their rapidly emerging aspects and discusses future research directions in the treatment of breast cancer. Users will find insights into breast cancer symptoms, epidemiology, risk factors, screening, treatment, and drugs delivery systems. Other sections cover Curcumin, Paclitaxel, Quercetin, Resveratrol, Sulforaphane, Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate, Allicin, Berberine, and Vinca Alkaloids in the treatment of breast cancer, along with future perspectives.

This book presents a groundbreaking opportunity for both academia and industry to reshape contemporary medical and healthcare approaches. With a specific emphasis on various facets of phytoconstituents within the realm of oncology, this publication serves as a precious asset for researchers, as well as graduate and post-graduate students specializing in oncology, pharmaceutical sciences, biotechnology, and related biomedical fields.
