Aloe vera gel for prevention of chemotherapy-induced hyperpigmentation: Four case reports.

In this study, researchers examined the effectiveness of applying Aloe vera gel topically to prevent chemotherapy-induced hyperpigmentation (CIH). CIH is a side effect of chemotherapy that leads to skin irritation, redness, and itching. Previous research has shown that Aloe vera may be useful in treating radiation-induced dermatitis, which suggests it may also alleviate symptoms associated with CIH. This study aims to determine if Aloe vera gel can provide relief for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Say 'No' to Cancer and 'Yes' to Cranberry: The Role of Cranberry Extract in Inhibition of Growth of Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells.

This study explores the potential of cranberry in treating lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), a challenging form of lung cancer. While cranberry's anti-cancer properties have been studied in other cancer types, its effectiveness against LUAD remains unclear. The research aims to expand our understanding of cranberry's role in LUAD treatment. As the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, finding new approaches to combat lung cancer is of great significance.
