Abstract

Patients being treated for oral cancer are not currently making progress in terms of survival. That is why scientists are constantly hunting for novel anti-cancer medications that are either natural products or derivatives of natural products. Cancer prevention and treatment have focused a lot of attention on naturally occurring substances found in dietary fruits and vegetables. Unlike costlier chemotherapeutic agents which may cause serious side effects, these natural treatments are both safe and affordable. Pomegranate and its components have an anti-tumorigenic impact, according to studies. Its role in the prevention and treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma as a chemotherapy adjuvant is highlighted in this review.
