Özet

Objectives: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women, and it is quite difficult to cure In order to treat the disease, chemotherapy is often performed as adjuvant therapy following the surgery or neo-adjuvant cure for the pre-operative purpose. While the strategy is an effective way to destroy the tumor, it also affects healthy cells thus it causes side effects leading to even multiple organ failure and death. So that to minimize the disadvantage of chemotherapeutics, phytochemicals have been studied as chemotherapeutic agents. Curcumin is an orange-yellow nutraceutical, which is isolated from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). This phyto-polyphenolic compound has various roles in bio- industry such as textile and food dye as well as a wide range of medicinal properties especially the anticancer feature.
