According to data released by the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer, the number of new cases of breast cancer worldwide is as high as 2.

Recently, in a study published in the international journal ACS Nano, scientists from institutions such as the National University of Singapore have successfully used a plant-derived nutritional supplement to shrink breast cancer tumors

Since nanotechnology only converts plant nutrients into chemotherapy at the tumor site, this treatment is both effective and has no side effects

The researchers say using plant-based natural products transformed by a process called "bio-orthogonal catalysis" to shrink breast cancer tumors is a breakthrough technology

In the new method, after using plant-derived molecules, an engineered nanotechnology transforms the molecules into chemotherapy drugs that are effective only at cancer sites, meaning side effects on other parts

Although the study treated breast cancer tumors from human patients, the preclinical model was used as an experimental cancer host because the technique was still too early to be used in hospital clinics
