There is a rising recurrence of cancers in humans and related complications of chemotherapeutic agents that reduce the clinical potency of numerous anticancer agents, including those which are currently in use. Hence, there is a consistent need for the development of alternative or synergistic anticancer drugs with lower side complications. One imperative approach to develop novel anticancer agents with potent efficiency is to discover natural resource-derived bioactive compounds. Diverse phytochemical constituents (like vincristine, vinblastine, taxol analogs etc.) derived from plants have been manifested as effective therapeutics in the treatment, prevention and management of cancer. Therefore, phytochemical constituents aid as prime source and candidates for the discovery of anticancer drugs, particularly when they are screened against their molecular targets via various approaches. Plants are predicted to have innumerable functional phytochemical constituents with potent features, which can be explored via in silico, in vitro as well as in vivo approaches for targeted cancer therapy and the most suitable cascade can be identified. Therefore, this research topic aims to cover the current trends and advancements in phytotherapies with an emphasis on targeted strategies in cancer precision medicine.
