چکیده
There have been a variety of chemical drugs that are being synthesized for cancer treatment. Besides the development of number of therapeutic drugs, cancer is still one of the leading cause for mortality worldwide. One associated reason for high rate of mortality in cancer, is side effects of the existing drug therapy. However recent inventions using natural metabolites have demonstrated the lower toxicity as compared to chemotherapy. This mini review highlights the recently investigated natural drug therapy for cancer treatment.
