Carvacrol's Role in Breast Cancer Treatment, authored by M. Fathima Bushra, is a comprehensive and informative book that delves into the potential of carvacrol, a natural compound found in medicinal plants and essential oils, as a chemopreventive agent for breast cancer treatment.
The book covers various aspects of carvacrol's anticancer activity, including its effects on cellular signaling pathways, oxidative stress, inflammation, and the tumor microenvironment. It also explores the molecular mechanisms of carvacrol in inducing apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, caspase activation, DNA damage, epigenetic regulation, autophagy, and immunomodulation in breast cancer cells.
In addition, the book examines the potential of carvacrol in synergistic effects with other treatments, such as tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, and combination therapy, as well as its efficacy in animal models and clinical trials. The safety profile, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, bioavailability, and toxicity of carvacrol are also discussed.
Furthermore, the book emphasizes the importance of health education, survivorship, and quality of life in breast cancer treatment and highlights the potential of carvacrol as an adjuvant therapy for improving these aspects.
Overall, Carvacrol's Role in Breast Cancer Treatment is a valuable resource for researchers, oncologists, and healthcare professionals interested in natural compounds and innovative approaches to breast cancer treatment.
