Abstract : Cancer remains a major global health concern, which drives the need for innovative approaches to prevention and treatment. In recent years, natural agents have emerged as a promising area of research, offering potential benefits in the fight against cancer. This review aims to provide an overview of the current understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of the natural agents, as well as their therapeutic potential. The molecular mechanisms by which natural agents exert their anti- cancer activities are multifaceted, which involves the modulation of key signaling pathways that regulate cell growth, the apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and also immune response. Furthermore, recent studies have begun to uncover the epigenetic modifications induced by the natural agents, providing valuable insights into their anti-cancer properties.
