| description | The Malay Archipelago has produced many
medical manuscripts reflecting and documenting
the availability, accessibility, and effectiveness of the
locally occuring natural products used in the
treatment of diseases. This study aims to review the
treatment of tumour and cancer in several Malay
medical manuscripts namely Kitab Tib Terengganu
MS 1998.400, Kitab Al Rahmah Fi Al-Tibb
54/LL/14/YPAH/2005, and Kitab Ilmu Tabib (Warisan
Perubatan Melayu). Natural products such as
plants, animal, and minerals that have potential
properties in treating cancer were identified in
several recipes involving the incorporation of
individual or mixed parts of plants and non-plants
substances. It was found that many of these
substances are yet to be screened as potential
anti-cancer drug candidates. It was also found that
the Malays identified and classified tumour and
cancer not only as barah or ketumbuhan as is
generally known today but also using several other
key terms. In conclusion, tumour and cancer are
among old diseases that were recognised by the
Malays and the Malay manuscripts still contain
many possible anti-cancer therapies that can be
brought out to the fore for use in contemporary
society. |
