Additional Boswellia oncology evidence across liver, gastric, haematologic, melanoma, and other cancer models

Boswellia's strongest pages are glioblastoma, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, prostate, NSCLC, and ovarian cancer. Beyond those, several additional areas show promising but earlier-stage relevance.

Additional evidence areas

  • Hepatocellular and gastric cancer — G2/M arrest and Akt-related suppression have been reported

  • Haematologic malignancies — preliminary apoptosis and NF-κB-related effects

  • Melanoma and fibrosarcoma — pro-apoptotic and antiproliferative findings in preclinical work

Practical interpretation

These are not the lead clinical pages for Boswellia, but they expand the biological range of the compound and may become more important as the literature grows.
