Abstract

Cancer is recognized as a major threat to health in the world, where response to treatment varies. Recently, there has been a great interest in the inhibitory role of herbs and spices in tumor growth inhibition and cancer progression. Saffron, also called 'red gold', is an aromatic medicinal herb. Saffron's medicinal virtues, ease of use in the kitchen, and its phytochemical profile have led to further investigation of its biological and therapeutic properties. Saffron is rich in carotenoids. Many studies have investigated the effect of saffron and its active ingredients in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Today, the mechanism of action of saffron has not yet been clarified. The aim of this study was to determine the anticancer and antitoxic effects of saffron as a chemo-inhibitory herb in MCF-7 and MCF-12a cell lines, respectively.
