Özet

Background: Studies of phytochemicals, antioxidant vitamins and minerals in foods have shown that the chemical compounds in foods are effective in the prevention or treatment of cancer and other diseases. Alternative cancer treatments have also been tried by many cancer patients treated with conventional therapies. Amygdalin therapy is used in many alternative treatments and has been claimed to be effective. The aim of this review is to evaluate the studies that examine the reliability and the efficacy of amygdalin use in the protocol for cancer patients.
