Biohacking the Tumour Microenvironment

This article explores the importance of looking beyond a cancer tumour to its surrounding environment, or neighbourhood, and how integrating botanical medicines with traditional cancer treatments might offer new hope in the fight against cancer. Author, Heidi Dahlenburg, talks about specific plants, like Astragalus and Panax notoginseng, that have shown promise in scientific studies for their potential to fight cancer by influencing the immune cells in the tumour's neighborhood. These plants might help make traditional cancer treatments more effective and reduce side effects. Read on for more.
