Numerous plant-derived compounds are used as cancer therapeutics including antimitotics, topoisomerase inhibitors, and kinase inhibitors. Here we will review emerging evidence suggesting that diet derived small RNAs may be an inexpensive, non-invasive and affordable way to deliver cancer treatments. |
