Abstract EN
Moringa oleifera, a fast-growing deciduous tree that is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, is well known for its abundant uses.
The tree is a source of food, shelter, and traditional medicine for many people, especially in developing countries.
Many studies have been conducted to evaluate the various claims of traditional medicine practitioners that the moringa tree can improve health and treat various diseases.
The tree has a high nutritional profile, especially the nutrient rich leaves.
Some reports also support the use of parts of the tree to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
These attractive properties have led researchers to look for other novel uses for the moringa tree, especially as a source of anticancer drugs.
Researchers have tested extracts from various parts of the moringa tree both in vitro and in vivo on several types of cancers with varying success.
This review explores the state of current research on the anticancer properties of M.
oleifera.
