By examining the rich history and traditional uses of Mexican flora, the book focuses on the bioactive compounds and mechanisms of action that contribute to the anti-cancer properties of these plants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eThe chapters cover a range of topics, including the pharmacognostic evidence supporting the anti-cancer potential of Mexican flora, the chemical structures of bioactive compounds, and the ways in which these plants can modulate the tumor microenvironment. The book also explores the synergistic effects of combining Mexican medicinal plants with conventional CRC therapies, offering a comprehensive analysis of preclinical and clinical evidence. Particular attention is given to sustainable harvesting practices, quality control, and toxicity considerations, ensuring the responsible use of these natural resources.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eThis book is an invaluable resource for researchers, scholars, and practitioners in oncology, pharmacology, and phytochemistry.
