Abstract

The objective of this paper was to highlight some natural anti-cancer particularly used for breast cancer. In this paper, some evidence for the success of using natural products as anti-cancer, selected in vitro and in vivo studies on anti-cancer plants were summarized from many studies which recently conducted with the objectives of using natural sources against breast cancer. It was found that theanti-cancer activities of the plants used in this regard were highly dependent on their components of major types of phenolic compounds present in the plants. The information provided in this paper could assist in building strong ideas about the ability of natural sources of anti-breast cancer as well as conducting deep researches in such fields of studies.
