    ABSTRACT

    Green tea is rich in catechins, which are polyphenolic chemicals that have strong anticancer effects through pro-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant processes. They alter a number of molecular pathways, including as those that control the course of the cell cycle, limit angiogenesis, and reduce metastasis. With traditional Chemotherapeutics, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), the most researched catechin, exhibits synergistic actions that increase efficacy and decrease toxicity. Catechins may serve as both preventive and therapeutic agents in the treatment of carcinoma, according to data from in vitro, in vivo, and a small number of clinical investigations. However, issues like poor absorption and varying patient reactions call for sophisticated administration methods and extensive clinical testing.
