Abstract
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes a holistic approach to preventing diseases, including carcinoma, by focusing on diet, lifestyle modifications, and herbal interventions. Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and its prevention is a critical area of research. This article explores the etiology of cancer, modern preventive strategies, and the Ayurvedic perspective on cancer prevention, including the role of Rasayana therapy, dietary regimens, and detoxification practices. The integration of Ayurveda with modern preventive oncology may provide a complementary approach to reducing cancer risk. Cancer ranks among the leading causes of death globally, presenting a significant challenge to healthcare systems. The complex nature of carcinoma development involves genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors, environmental exposures, and dietary habits. Modern oncology emphasizes preventive strategies such as screening, vaccination, and lifestyle modifications. Ayurveda complements these efforts through a holistic paradigm, addressing underlying factors that predispose individuals to cancer through comprehensive lifestyle and dietary guidance and rejuvenation therapies (Rasayana).
