OverviewThis book provides detailed information on the various types of cancer, etiology, effects, and challenges associated with current cancer treatment regimes. The present edition has been written to reflect recent developments, success rates and lacunae in herbal and modern cancer therapies. It also describes the use of several herbal formulations to boost patients’ immunity, in order to prevent or help them cope with several cancers. The book highlights several herbs/shrubs/trees that have been reported to possess anti-cancer properties, paving the way for in-depth research into the dose standardization and efficacy of plant-based bioactive molecules. It also focuses on the sustainable conservation of medicinal flora, so that, in future, novel biomolecules be extracted and made available for the treatment of various cancers. Given its highly relevant content, the book will benefit the entire cancer research community (students, scientists, pharmacists, herbalists and lecturers) at universities, research institutions and industry in the areas of oncology, herbal cancer therapy, biotechnology, drug discovery, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and various disciplines of the biomedical sciences.

During his Ph.D. at the Plant Transgenics Lab, CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute (CSIR-NBRI) in Lucknow, he worked on the optimization, introduction and expression of modified full-length and truncated versions of Bt-cry1Ab and 1Ac genes in tomato for developing non-chimeric and stable transgenic lines resistant to two lepidopteran insects (Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera litura) and evaluated the performance of both the versions of cry1Ab and 1Ac genes for the stability and efficacy of insecticidal toxin in transgenic plants. He also evaluated the performance and role of various cis-motifs of artificial synthetic promoters for overexpression of genes in tomato and performed comparative in silico analyses of several cry1A genes for toxicity to target insects. He has six years of research experience and five years of teaching experience, and received the “Teacher appreciation award, 2016” from the LPU in the Discipline of Biotechnology, through the MHRD Minister, Government of India. He has designed the full-length synthetic cry1Ac gene (NCBI submission accession No.: KP195020.1; GI:768678299) and has published 17 research papers in national and international journals including BMC Genomics, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, South African Journal of Botany; as well as three book chapters and one authored book with Springer Nature.
