How plant-based natural compounds may treat skin cancer by targeting cell communication pathways

Updated

Abstract

Natural compounds may offer a promising avenue for skin cancer treatment by modifying key molecular signaling pathways.

  • Natural compounds like curcumin and resveratrol are associated with inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting cell death in skin cancer.
  • These substances may prevent the spread of cancer and modulate inflammation and blood vessel formation.
  • Natural compounds can enhance the effectiveness of existing chemotherapy while exhibiting low toxicity to healthy skin cells.
  • Their potential to combat drug resistance highlights their importance in future cancer treatment strategies.
  • Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms is crucial for integrating these compounds into current therapeutic approaches.
