**3. Results**

Selected Studies: A total of 342 articles (PubMed—14, Scopus—36, Web of Science—20, Embase—203, Cochrane—69) were identified using the keywords. Titles and the abstract of the identified articles were screened to remove any duplicates or irrelevant articles in step one. Only 50 articles were included in step two. Based on the full-text assessment of these 50 articles, only 25 articles were found to satisfy the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. Figure 1 illustrates the search strategy employed. The kappa coefficient for steps one and two was found to be 0.9 and 1, respectively. Table 1; Table 2 respectively summarize the overall in vitro and in vivo effect of *Tc*-derived phytocomponents on cancer. The various phytocomponents present in the different parts of *Tc*, along with their anti-carcinogenic effects on cancer (both in vitro and in vivo), are elaborated in detail in the discussion.
