Abstract

The knowledge of Sartan (cancer) in the Unani (Greco-Arab) system of medicine can be traced to ancient times (131-200 A.D.). The knowledge of Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Zakarya al-Rani for curing of cancer is worth mentioning. Unani simples-plants, animals and minerals and formulations used for the treatment of the disease as mentioned by him have been presented scientifically. Numerous plant drugs have been tabulated with their correct botanical names, English names, part used and families. The claims have been reviewed in the light of research work conducted in India during the last decades.
