uncontrolled cell division resulting from accumulated mutations in growth-regulating genes. cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and a primary target of phytochemical research
many species in the cyber valley catalog produce anticancer compounds. flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds interfere with cancer cell proliferation through multiple mechanisms: apoptosis induction, angiogenesis inhibition, cell cycle arrest, and metastasis suppression
oxidative stress contributes to cancer initiation by damaging DNA. antioxidant compounds from fruit, vegetables, and herbs help neutralize reactive oxygen species, reducing mutation rates
