Several classes of drugs and compounds have anti-tumorigenic properties:
Chemotherapeutic Drugs: These include agents like doxorubicin, cisplatin, and paclitaxel, which are commonly used to kill cancer cells. Targeted Therapies: Drugs like imatinib and trastuzumab specifically target molecules involved in cancer cell growth and survival. Natural Compounds: Substances like curcumin, resveratrol, and green tea polyphenols have shown anti-tumorigenic effects in various studies. Immunotherapies: Agents like checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., pembrolizumab) and CAR T-cell therapies harness the immune system to combat cancer.
