Abstract

Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Some limited therapy methods, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, are performed for squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and mela¬noma, as well-known skin cancers. The current treatment methods have a relatively low success rate and may leave different side effects during and after therapy. Therefore, finding alternative methods without side effects to treat skin cancer has always been interesting to oncology researchers. Thus, nutraceuticals and herbal medicines for skin cancer treatment have become particularly important in recent years. In this regard, the main classes of nutraceutical compounds with powerful anticancer potential discussed in this book chapter are included phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamins, and terpenes. © 2024 Apple Academic Press, Inc.
