Abstrakt: Northern Indochina is a region with abundant and diverse natural resources, including ethnomedicinal plants that have been traditionally used to alleviate cancer symptoms. However, the literature reviews regarding the scientific and clinical validation of the active ingredients and signaling mechanisms for cancer therapeutic application are still lacking. This article summarizes and exemplifies the plants used in ethnopharmacology for complementary cancer treatment based on the historical wisdom of 10 ethnic groups residing in northern Indochina. Additionally, the major active components with anti-cancer mechanisms are also elucidated and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
