   • According to Chan HT (2024)

     Excerpt Their anticancer properties are documented with description on cancer cell types, effects & mechanisms. In the conservation of mangrove & associate species with anticancer properties, in in-situ conservation, species are protected in their natural surroundings as ecosystems (e.g., virgin jungle reserves & Ramsar sites) while in ex-situ conservation, species are protected outside their natural habitats (e.g., arboreta & botanical gardens).

   • According to Samsudin SM (2019)

     Excerpt Various type of samples plays an important role to determining which compound that will give the positive results in antioxidant test (inhibiting free radical scavenging activity) which they probably have potency for preventing the cancer disease.

   • According to Author (2008)

     Excerpt The results indicated that, HT treated group were able to reverse the haematological parameters, protein& Packed Cell Volume (PCV) consequent to tumour inoculation with in fourteen days after the transplantation. the aim of this study was to evaluate antitumour activity of the roots of Hibiscus tiliaceus against Dalton’sAscitic Lymphoma (DAL) in Swiss albino mice.
