Studies

Ceiba pentandra ethyl acetate extract improves doxorubicin antitumor outcomes against chemically induced liver cancer in rat model: a study supported by UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS identification of the bioactive phytomolecules.

Summary

Researchers tested ethyl acetate extract alone and with doxorubicin on HCC in rats. Results showed improved liver function and tumor markers. Extract contains flavonoids with anti-cancer properties. Potential for affordable liver cancer therapy.
