Assessment Of Antitumor Activity Of Standardized Polyalthia Longifolia Leaf Extract In Hela Cell Tumor Xenograft Mouse Model

P. longifolia is a traditional medicinal plant with a rich source of biologically active phytochemicals. Investigations on methanolic leaf extract were reported to exert potent in vitro anticancer effects on HeLa human cervical cancer cells. Current treatment strategies for cervical cancer are facin...
