Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer rates in Cameroon are high, prompting the search for more effective treatments, such as Xylopia aethiopica, which has traditional medicinal uses against cancer.
- This study tested the anti-cancer effects of X. aethiopica through in vitro experiments on breast cancer cell lines and in vivo experiments on rats with induced tumors.
- The findings showed that X. aethiopica extracts inhibited cancer cell growth, reduced tumor volume and incidence, and increased apoptosis, indicating its potential as an effective anti-cancer agent.
