Abstract: Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies and is associated with a dismal prognosis. The most common therapeutic option for cervical cancer consists of surgery in early stages, and chemotherapy or radiotherapy in more advanced stages of the disease. Although treatment options have increased for some patients, overall progress has been modest. This invention relates to a method for treating cancer comprising administering an anti-cancer compound. More particularly, the present invention relates to an anti-cervical-cancer compound for treating human cervical cancer and tumor.

Abstract: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and one of the leading causes of cancer death. Although treatment options have increased for some patients, overall progress has been modest. Thus, there is a great need to develop new treatments. This invention relates to a method for treating cancer comprising using an anti-cancer compound. More particularly, it relates to an anti-prostate cancer compound that can be isolated from Garcinia esculenta or chemically synthesized and its specific anticancer/antitumor activity. The invention has a specific application in treating human prostate cancer.

Abstract: This invention is related to compounds isolated from various Garcinia species and method of treating cancer. The present invention provides composition for treating cancer comprising polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) compound. The present invention also provides a composition comprising Guttiferone K for treating esophageal cancer.
