Unlocking the Potential of Propolis in the Battle Against Cancer: A Mini Comprehensive Exploration.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, standing as the second leading cause of death worldwide. Despite significant advancements in treatment modalities, the limitations and side effects associated with conventional therapies underscore the urgent need for a product that is natural and innovative . This manuscript delves into the potential of propolis, a natural bee hive extract, as a promising alternative for cancer treatment, with a focus on its application in combating oral cancers
