In vitro and in silico anticancer activities of Annona muricata linn leaves extracts on lung cancer cells

Lung cancer specifically non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most devastating cancers. Despite having diverse treatment methods such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and targeted therapies, the overall 5-year survival rate for NSCLC is accounted for only 18.2 %. The high mortality ra...
