Anti-proliferative effect of terpenes on human prostate cancer cells: Natural sources and their potential role as chemopreventive agents

ABSTRACT Prostate cancer is one of the neoplastic diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world. The diversity of available treatments and side effects related to therapeutic treatments are severe and affect a patient's quality of life. Thus, to creating new therapeutic alterna...
