Every year, more than 12 million people are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. Cancer diagnosis is difficult for anybody
to bear, and dealing with treatment is sometimes more complicated than the disease itself. When it comes to cancer
treatment choices, chemotherapy is the most well-known since it is frequently used and recommended by specialists all over
the world. On the other hand, chemotherapy is recognized for destroying healthy cells, and this destruction led to several
negative impacts on the body. Recent advancements in biology have allowed scientists to better study the possible use of
other methods, including phytotherapy and apitherapy for treating or managing many malignant conditions. Phytotherapy
and apitherapy are among the best alternatives to chemotherapy as plants and honeybee products are chief sources of
phytochemicals with anticancer properties. For example, hesperidin, melittin, apamin, artepillin, 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic
acid (10-HDA), Major Royal Jelly Proteins (MRJP), jelleins, royalisin and caffeic acid phenethyl ester are important plant
and bee engineered product constituents which by inducing apoptosis and arresting cell cycle control the proliferation of
cancer cells. In general, this review highlights problems related to cancer treatment using chemicals. It discusses
phytotherapy and apitherapy as an alternative to chemotherapy, while plants and bee products rich in natural anticancer
compounds have greater potency to treat cancer.
