Bioactive Compounds of Seaweeds and Their Effects on Certain Types of Cancer

Cancer is considered as one of the major health problems worldwide. So far, no completely effective method has been found for cancer treatment. Therefore, the rise of using natural products has been proposed as an alternative therapy in this regard. For many years, the seaweed has been a source of m...
