one of most common cancer in US, according to the statistics adapted

Cranberry is a evergreen dwarf shrubs, genus
Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern
America and Southern Asia. Because of health benefits, it has been
cultivated in some parts of the world forcommercial profits and used in
traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds,urinary disorders,
diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
Proanthocyanidin (PAC)-rich isolate from cranberry
(PAC-1), inhibited ovarian cancer SKOV-3 cell line through blocked cell
cycle progression through the G2/M phase, increased the
generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and induced
apoptosis through activation of intrinsic and extrinsic pathway
components(18). Treatment with Proanthocyanidin in SKOV-3 ovarian cancer
cells exhibited classic apoptotic changesnd pretreatment of SKOV-3
cells with PACs (106 microg/ml) resulted in a significant reduction of
the paraplatin IC50 value(19).
