Role of Nutraceuticals in Cancer Chemosensitization

Role of Nutraceuticals in Chemoresistance to Cancer, Volume Two, focuses on nutraceuticals, the compounds derived from natural sources, which are usually multi-targeted as a means to overcome chemoresistance. This book discusses the role of several compounds related to nutraceuticals and chemoresistance, such as curcumin, resveratrol, indole 3-carbinol, tocotrienols, ursolic acid, fisetin, celastrol, gambogic, butein, catechins and silymarin. It is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists and members of several areas of the biomedical field who are interested in understanding how to use nutraceuticals as a sensitizing agent for chemotherapy.

Brings updated information on natural compounds used as specific inhibitors of cell signaling pathways as reviewed by experts in the fieldPresents experts analysis and summary of reported and novel findings and potential translational application in cancer patientsDescribes molecular mechanisms with new and helpful approaches for the readers to use in their own investigations
