Ethiopian and Swedish researchers investigated the toxicity of extracts from seven medicinal plants traditionally used to treat breast cancer in Ethiopia. The results of their study were published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that the medicinal plants used to treat breast cancer patients in Ethiopia have varying in vitro toxicity. They hope their findings can guide future researchers in choosing the best plant from which to isolate new compounds for cancer treatment.
