Abstract

Introduction: Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery often causing severe side effects. Natural medicine has gained attention as a potential complementary approach to cancer care. CANEZA, a herbal formulation made from ginger (Zingiber officinale), lemon (Citrus limon), and soursop leaves (Annona muricata), was developed as a potential adjunct therapy for cancer patients. Objective: To evaluate the anti-cancer properties of CANEZA and its potential to improve patient outcomes by reducing the side effects of conventional cancer treatments. Methods: The study followed a multi-phase approach: I. Phytochemical Analysis – CANEZA underwent laboratory testing at the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) to identify its active compounds and assess its biochemical properties. Results:  Validated by NCRI: CANEZA successfully passed laboratory testing at the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI), confirming its potential therapeutic properties.  Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Properties: Results indicate that CANEZA contains bioactive compounds with strong antioxidant activity and selective toxicity against cancer cells. Conclusion: The successful validation of CANEZA at NCRI marks a significant step toward integrating herbal medicine into cancer treatment. With promising antioxidant and anti-cancer properties, CANEZA presents potential as a safe and effective complementary therapy. Further research, including large-scale clinical trials, is essential to confirm its efficacy and optimize dosage formulations.
