Cancer, Medicine and Treatment in Medicine and Science

Abstract

Cancer treatment and interventions in medicine have been known for decades. However, the problems associated with treatment medicines vary. This is the situation because chemotherapy and radiotherapy have been associated with side effects. Furthermore, plant and natural compounds can cause cancer to proliferate instead of inhibiting their growth. In addition, calcium stores have been said to play a significant role in cell membrane structure maintenance. This means that the medicines used in the treatment of cancers need to be scientifically evaluated in order to obtain a realistic spread of data across various cancers. In certain plant species, like Callistemon and Bulbine species, phytochemicals have proven to be both proliferative and inhibitory, indicating a synergistic as well as antagonistic effect to cancer tissue metastasis. Also, the proteins involved in cell death are affected by this dual function of cancer medicine. This paper would focus on cancer interventions and the science behind the philosophies already discussed in the literature.
