Since the polyherbal decoction under current investigation consists of a number of active ingredients, previously reported multimechanistic approach of the decoction in counteracting tumour progression can reasonably be justified. Counteract to oxidative stress is one of such mechanisms that may render a resistance to chemotherapy or radiotherapy in malignant cells, but effective in protecting healthy cells during the said treatment modalities. However, such compromised anticancer activity of the decoction will be well compensated by the existence of the remaining anticancer mechanisms of the decoction.
