Abstract
Cancer remains a significant global health challenge. Despite its widespread acceptance, chemotherapy has several limitations such as high resistance rates, susceptibility, and lack of precision targeting tumor cells. In response to these drawbacks, alternative therapeutic approaches are needed that have negligible side effects, high specificity, and can amplify anti-tumor effects. Organic compounds, such as Terpenes, are naturally available, cost-effective, and less toxic. They hold promise in enhancing the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments. In addition to potentiating therapeutic outcomes, terpenes reverse drug resistance with specific pathway inhibition, and facilitate repair in healthy tissues caused by treatment. The review examines the potential synergy between nature's products, like Terpenes, and conventional therapies, which could enhance cancer treatments, reduce side effects, and benefit patients.
