ABSTRACT

Cancer escapes the body’s own immune system and establishes itself in any target organ. Despite initial success in classical therapy e.g. surgery, radiation and chemoprevention, cancer always relapse after some time. Targeted therapy to some extent showed better responses with lesser toxicity. However, the mutation in the target protein leads to drug resistance. Therefore, it seems logical & great need to boost body’s own immune system and sensitize them against the tumor cells to achieve complete remission and disease-free survival. In Ayurveda, properties of some important plants namely Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy), Berberis aristata (Daru haldi) and Boerhaavia diffusa (Punarnava) have been already cited. According to Ayurveda, these plants are rich in antioxidants and therefore have anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenesis, anti-angiogenic and immunomodulatory capabilities. In this review, we looked at how these herbs can aid in the prevention of cervical cancer. In medical research, simulation digestion is also a rising requirement that should be addressed. Keywords: Cervical cancer, Phytochemicals, Chemoprevention, Tinospora cordifolia, Berberis aristata, Boerhavia diffusa
