How to read this term

What the index means by Cancer.

The database says that a source associated a plant with the label “Cancer”. It does not show that the source used modern diagnostic criteria or that the plant was effective.

A suspected cancer, persistent unexplained lump, bleeding or progressive symptoms needs professional diagnosis; historical plant-use data is not a cancer treatment guide.
