Though several synthetic medicines are used to treat cancer, they are largely inefficient and unsafe. In contrast, plants, which have been used for medicinal purposes since time immemorial, have proved to be useful in fighting cancer, with natural compounds from plants and their derivatives offering safe and effective treatment and management for several types of cancer. Plants such as Catharanthus roseus, Podophyllum peltatum, Taxus brevifolia, Camptotheca acuminate, Andrographis paniculata, Crateva nurvala, Croton tonkinensis, Oplopanax horridus etc., are important source of chemotherapeutic compounds. These plants have proven their value in the treatment of cancer and various other infectious diseases, and several common anticancer compounds such as taxol, podophyllotoxins, camptothecin, vinblastine, vincristine, homoharringtonine etc. have been isolated and purified from these medicinal plants. Unfortunately, many of these anticancer plants have become endangered due to ruthless and irresponsible harvesting practices. Hence, there is a need to conserve these species and to propagate them on a large scale using plant tissue culture. Alternatively, plant cell tissue and organ culture biotechnology could be adopted to produce these anticancer compounds without the need for cultivation. A better grasp and continuing exploration of these isolated molecules and products could provide a powerful alternative means of reducing cancer risk. ?Anticancer Plants: Volume 3, Clinical Trials and Nanotechnology? provides a timely review of concepts and experimental data on the application of anticancer plants and their compounds in clinical trials, and on the use of nanotechnology in cancer therapy. 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aProteomics 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 606 $aProteomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1403X 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aPlant Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aProteomics. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 14$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aProteomics. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 676 $a615.321 702 $aAkhtar$b Mohd Sayeed$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKumara Swamy$b Mallappa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910293152703321 996 $aAnticancer Plants: Clinical Trials and Nanotechnology$91954774 997 $aUNINA
