Abstract

Cancer, after cardiovascular disease, is the second leading cause of death. Worldwide about 10 million people per year are diagnosed with cancer and more than 6 million die of the disease and over 22 million people in the world are cancer patients. It is a complex disease that is associated with a wide range of effects both at the molecular and cellular levels. Natural protection against cancer has recently been receiving a great deal of attention not only from cancer patients but also from physicians as well. In this study the effect of extracts from various parts of the fruit of Eugenia jambolana (Black Plum) is observed on breast cancer and prostate cancer cell lines.
