These malignancies include leukemias lymphomas multiple myeloma brain cancer melanoma and skin lung prostate breast ovarian liver gastrointestinal pancreatic and colorectal epithelial cancers. Curcumin mediates its anti-proliferative anti-invasive and apoptotic effects on cancer cells including cancer stem progenitor cells and their progenies through multiple molecular mechanisms. The oncogenic pathways inhibited by curcumin encompass the members of epidermal growth factor receptors EGFR and erbB2 sonic hedgehog SHH GLIs and Wnt p-catenin and downstream signaling elements such as Akt nuclear factor-kappa B NF-kB and signal transducers and activators of transcription STATs . In counterbalance the high metabolic instability and poor systemic bioavailability of curcumin limit its therapeutic efficacy in human. Of great therapeutic interest the selective delivery of synthetic analogs or nanotechnology-based formulations of curcumin to tumors alone or in combination with other anticancer drugs may improve their chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic efficacies against cancer progression and relapse. Novel curcumin formulations may also be used to reverse drug resistance eradicate the total cancer cell mass and improve the anticarcinogenic efficacy of the current anti-hormonal and chemotherapeutic treatments for patients with various aggressive and lethal cancers. Background The deregulation and sustained activation of multiple tumorigenic
