Abstract: Cervical cancer and ovarian cancer are the deadliest gynecological malignancies and are the fourth and fifth leading causes of death in women respectively. The 5-year survival rate of patients has dropped to 15-20% when these cancers metastasize to distant organs. A unique formulation of nutrients containing green tea extract, ascorbic acid, lysine and proline, has exhibited anticancer effects in various cancers. In our earlier in vivo studies, the nutrient mixture significantly, reduced tumor weight and tumor burden of ovarian and cervical cancers.
