Novel and alternative options are being adopted to combat the initiation progression of human cancers. One approaches is use molecules isolated from traditional medicinal herbs, edible dietary plants seeds that play a pivotal role in prevention/treatment cancer, either alone or combination with existing chemotherapeutic agents. Compounds modulate these oncogenic processes potential candidates for cancer therapy may eventually make it clinical applications. Diosgenin naturally occurring steroidal sapogenin one major bioactive compounds found fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds. In addition lactation aid, diosgenin has been shown be hypocholesterolemic, gastro- hepato-protective, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer. unique structural similarity estrogen. Several preclinical studies have reported on pro-apoptotic anti-cancer properties against variety cancers, both vitro vivo. also reverse multi-drug resistance cells sensitize standard chemotherapy. Remarkably, used by pharmaceutical companies synthesize drugs. novel analogs nano-formulations synthesized improved efficacy pharmacokinetic profile. this review we discuss detail multifaceted application pharmaceutical, functional food, cosmetic industries; various intracellular molecular targets modulated abrogate process.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and differs greatly among different patients (intertumor heterogeneity) even within each individual tumor (intratumor heterogeneity). Clinical morphologic intertumor heterogeneity reflected by staging systems histopathologic classification of breast cancer. Heterogeneity in the expression established prognostic predictive biomarkers, hormone receptors HER2 oncoprotein, basis for targeted treatment. Molecular classifications are indicators genetic heterogeneity, which probed with multigene assays can lead to improved stratification into low high risk groups personalized therapy. Intratumor occurs at morphologic, genomic, transcriptomic proteomic levels, creating diagnostic therapeutic challenges. Understanding molecular cellular mechanisms that relevant development treatment resistance major area research. Despite knowledge complex phenotypic features underpinning there has been only limited advancement diagnostic, or strategies The current guidelines reporting biomarkers aim maximize patient eligibility therapy, but do not take account intratumor heterogeneity. implemented routine clinical practice.
