Abstract in brief

Calendula officinalis shows potential in cancer treatment due to its ability to induce cell death (cytotoxicity) in various cancer cell lines, but results vary depending on how it is prepared and the type of cancer.
Its bioactive compounds can activate pathways that promote cancer cell death and reduce those that prevent it, and animal studies suggest it has antitumor, antimetastatic, and protective effects, which could make it useful in future cancer therapies.
Currently, it is mainly used to help lessen the side effects of radiotherapy, but further research could lead to its development as a more direct cancer treatment.]
