Anticancer properties
Anticancer properties refer to the ability of certain substances, medicines, or natural compounds to prevent, inhibit, or destroy cancer cells. These agents work by interfering with cancer cell growth, division, or survival, often selectively targeting abnormal cells while sparing healthy ones. They can induce cancer cell death (apoptosis), block the blood supply tumors need (anti-angiogenesis), or halt their ability to spread. Understanding these properties helps in developing effective treatments that can improve patient outcomes and reduce the impact of cancer.
