Extracting bioactive compounds from moringa oleifera leaves for anticancer product
Cancer is one of the most dangerous illness in the world. It occurs when cells in the body divide at an uncontrolled rate which then produces lumps or masses of tissue known as tumour.

Cancer is one of the most dangerous illness in the world. It occurs when cells in the body divide at an uncontrolled rate which then produces lumps or masses of tissue known as tumour. In addition, it affects the digestive, nervous and circulatory systems, these tumours also produce hormones which disrupts body functions. A benign tumour which remains in the same spot is harmless. On the contrary, a malignant tumour is dangerous as it may destroy healthy cells. These malignant tumours spread to healthy cells through the blood or lymphatic system. This condition is known as metastasis. Nowadays, various modern cancer treatments are available including surgery, drugs, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, steroid medications, and hormonal therapy.
