Development And Evaluation Of Topical Ethosomal Formulation Composed Of Orthosiphon Stamineus Extract For Melanoma

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of skin cancer with high rate of fatality if left untreated. Herbal-based compounds can be useful as alternative in cancer therapy such as melanoma due to their high anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These characteristic features can halt ang...
