Abstract
: Curcumin, a bioactive compound derived from various Zingiberaceae plants, has garnered increasing attention for its potential in cancer therapy. This review explores the multifaceted role of curcumin in cancer treatment, encompassing its anti-tumor effects, impact on apoptosis induction, regulation of signaling pathways, anti-angiogenic properties, and enhanced chemosensitivity. Beyond its medicinal applications, curcuminoids are also utilized as food pigments, making curcumin a versatile and cost-effective option with fewer adverse reactions compared to conventional Western medicine.
