N2 - Uncontrolled cell growth that possesses the capacity to exhibit malignant behavior is referred to as cancer. The cytotoxic drugs used to fight cancer are associated with several adverse effects and are not always readily available or affordable, especially in developing countries. These issues are in addition to the shortcomings of the current cancer treatment regimen. According to growing research, honey is not cytotoxic to normal cells but is highly and particularly cytotoxic to tumor cells, suggesting that honey may display anticancer effects. Research has shown that honey affects a number of cell signaling pathways; however, at the moment, the precise method is not completely known.
