Article Title: | Complementary therapies, herbs, and other OTC agents: Graviola (Annona muricata) |
Abstract: | Graviola demonstrated anti-cancer effects in vitro, but has not been studied in humans. Despite the lack of human data, many websites promote graviola to cancer patients based on traditional use and on the in vitro studies. Caution is required as there is no evidence of safety or efficacy. |
