Abstract
: Salvia species have been used as traditional medicine in many countries for a long time for health benefits. More importantly, in recent decades, the extracts of Salvia species have been shown to exhibit significant anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo on a wide range of cancer types. Therefore, this review provides a systematic summary of the anticancer profile and the underlying mechanisms of the extracts from Salvia species, which reveals the potential of these species, especially Salvia miltiorrhiza and Salvia officinalis , to be used as natural anticancer agents or auxiliary agents and bring new insights for further research and development of the genus Salvia .
