Article Synopsis
- The 5-year survival rate for oral cancer patients has stagnated at around 50% for 30 years, mainly due to ineffective tumor-targeting of existing drugs, prompting a search for more effective plant extracts.
- Two human oral cancer cell lines and normal oral cells were tested for cell viability after exposure to various plant extracts using the MTT method, determining cytotoxicity and tumor specificity.
- Camptotheca acuminate leaf showed the highest tumor specificity, indicating significant potential for anti-cancer treatment, with other promising extracts also identified but with lower specificity scores.
