Modulation of inflammation by phytochemicals to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity of cancer chemotherapy

Taha Koray Sahin et al.

Summary: Chemotherapy for cancer treatment is accompanied by various side effects and the eventual development of resistance. Complementary therapies, such as botanicals and nutritional supplements, with minimal side effects are needed to prevent resistance and reduce adverse effects. Inflammation plays a key role in chemoresistance and chemotherapy-induced adverse effects. Phytochemicals have established anti-inflammatory effects and can be used as complementary therapies to enhance the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy.
