ABSTRACT:
Breast cancer is the most widely recognized and leading to global death incidences among women, traditional medications employ herbal sources in both prevention and dealing strategies of this lethal disease. It is well known that Patients suffering from cancer use plant derived therapy to complement or as alternatives for standard treatment .Strong anti-proliferative effects against cancer cell line by using Spirulina was explained previously by many researchers, thus, in current review authors elucidate the excite cellular mechanisms, involving with anti-proliferative effect of several constituents (phycocyanin, polysaccharides, flavonoids, resins, saponins and alkaloids) which have detected within this alga .these mechanisms include: inter action within the immune system, DNA repair, apoptosis induction as well as antioxidant property. The selection to focus on breast cancer treatment; is the widely spread of this type of cancer among Iraqi women through the last decades the current review give a possible and a promising insight of using this alga as a natural, cheap source in management of this lethal challenge.
