A Natural Medicine: Citrus and Lemon Application In Cancer

Citrus juices are generally safer than synthetic cancer drugs due to their lower toxicity and fewer side effects. However, their efficacy as cancer treatments is still under investigation and not as well-established as that of synthetic drugs. Citrus juices may be considered complementary or preventive agents rather than primary treatments for cancer.Despite the promising preclinical data, there is a lack of long-term clinical trials specifically examining the use of citrus juices in cancer prevention. Most evidence is based on animal models or short-term human studies. Therefore, while citrus juices show potential as part of a broader dietary approach to cancer prevention, more rigorous clinical trials are needed to confirm their efficacy and safety over the long term.
