Cancer is a disorder that is very complicated. Most tumors tend to be incurable. However,
appropriate measures can reduce the risk of cancer. Cancer is a very costly illness to manage
in a low-income nation such as Bangladesh. Many clinically effective plant-related compounds
have been a key source of anticancer agents. Vinblastine, vincristine, derivatives of
camptothecin, topotecan and irinotecan, etoposide and paclitaxel are among these. The planet
also has so many plants that are less known or unexplored. We address in this review paper the
less studied plants from which we can develop anticancer drugs. Detailed information about
the part used, the use of the extract, the model type, the types of cancer cell lines tested, etc. of
less explored plants are reported. These plants are still used for various cancer cell types. Such
trees, as they have strong efficacy in anticancer activity, are all potential candidates for in vivo
studies.
