Abstract	Phytochemicals, the secondary metabolites are the biologically active compounds known for their potential health benefits in the prevention of various diseases, including cancer. The present review article has been aimed to explore the therapeutic benefits of the major phytochemical constituents, in cancer treatment and prevention based on the epidemiological studies, pre-clinical and clinical trials. Despite the strong anticancer effect of many of these phytochemicals, as well as their proven efficacy in multiple epidemiological studies, there is still a great need for human studies and clinical evaluation, with due caution regarding the safety measures. This review article provides an overview of the epidemiological, pre-clinical and clinical evidence supporting the potential chemopreventive and anticancer properties of selected phytochemicals, with a focus on the need for further research in this area.
