Oral Cancers: A New Perspective on Anticancer/Antioxidants

Hossein Rafiei, Maryam Rafiei

Globally, oral cancer (OC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies with a negligible prognosis, a high recurrence rate, and high therapeutic costs. Despite many efforts to resolve these issues, no alternative definitively effective solution has yet been presented. From this point of view, it seems necessary to research other new therapeutic methods. Antioxidants are oxidation inhibitors demonstrating diverse physiological functions in the body. In this review, we focused on some compounds that, despite their antioxidant properties, have evidenced anti-cancerous effects on OCs.
