American cockroach is generally not anti-cancer and has a limited role in the treatment of tumors.
The chemical components contained in American cockroach include sugars, amino acids, peptides, proteins, oils, nucleosides, flavonoids, alkaloids, etc. Its pharmacological effects are as follows: antitumor, promoting tissue repair, enhancing immunity, antioxidant, hepatoprotection, treatment of diabetes, etc.
However, the above effects are only verified in cell culture experiments, animal experiments and clinical applications in a few cases, and the basic research on cockroach is still very weak, especially the separation and extraction of its active ingredients, the specific active ingredients that play a medicinal role and the related molecular mechanisms are still unclear.
If patients have any uncomfortable symptoms, they should go to regular hospitals in time for appropriate examination and treatment under the guidance of professional doctors, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
