Abstract

Both diabetes and breast cancer are well-established diseases with similar underlying causes that can be influenced by various risk factors. Research suggests that insulin can play a significant role in the spread of breast cancer cells. Moreover, certain medicinal plants have antidiabetic and anticancer properties, making them promising candidates for dual-acting therapies. This article provides a review of the current scientific literature on these plants, including a tabular summary of the findings. By exploring the potential of these medicinal plants further, there is a possibility of developing effective natural therapies to control the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells in diabetic patients.
