A number of studies on natural products has shown that the plant derived cell constituents can prove the potential without having any adverse effects. It can be achieved by the cell proliferative activity, apoptosis to decrease the cancerous cervical cell growth. Though the several plants and natural products have reported their effectiveness towards the cervical cancer. As a result, there is a need of novel anti-cancer that are safe, cost effective, widely available, and free of side effects. Medicinal plants have been at the forefront of anti-cancer research. With this goal in mind, this study attempts to provide evidence-based examination of plant extracts, phytochemicals and Phyto molecules that display anti-tumorigenic activity or exert lethal effect in human cervical cancer cells. Among the plants such as Ocimum sanctum, Curcuma longa and Azadirachta indica had shown various effects against the cervical cancer.
