Plant flavonoids anticarcinogenic activity

In view of the safety and absence of side effects of herbal medicines, extensive research in this area has been launched in world medicine in recent years. In this review, we considered it appropriate to briefly review the results of experimental and pharmacotherapeutic studies in the search and study of the anticarcinogenic properties of natural flavonoids. A review of the data available in the literature showed that both extracts and individual flavonoids of various plants have anticarcinogenic activity. Further study of the anticarcinogenic effect of flavonoids of plant origin deserves the closest attention, since it is closely connected with the problem of finding new methods for the prevention and treatment of various types of cancer.
