A Beautiful Cancer-fighting Plant

by K Kristie
published on Jan 7, 2009

Periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) gives us two very important cancer-fighting medicines: vinblastine and vincristine. Vinblastine has helped increase the chance of surviving childhood leukaemia from 10% to 95%, while vincristine is used to treat Hodgkins' Disease.
