Anticancer research continues to grow in an effort to find novel preventive and treatment measures for cancers. The papaya plant produces several biologically active phytochemicals, which exhibit anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-oxidative properties. This review explores studies examining these phytochemicals derived from the papaya plant as a potential chemopreventive agent and a cancer therapeutic. Further studies must be done to establish the papaya plant and its phytochemicals as an alternative to traditional cancer treatments.  \nKey Words Papaya plant, Cancer prevention, Anticancer activity, Carica papaya, Phytochemicals  \nINTRODUCTION  \nDespite significant innovations in the fight against cancer over the past few decades, anticancer research remains a rampant industry [1] . Cancer describes an increasing list of diseases that are caused by an unsystematic disregard for cell cycle checkpoints. Researchers continue examining novel therapeutic methods and management due to the lack of an effective treatment, combined with its increasing pervasiveness [2] .  \nCancer cases continue to surge while the efficacy of conventional treatments has plateaued. Moreover, conventional treatments such as chemotherapy are riddled with side-effects including toxicity, neutropenia, lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis, hair loss, etc. [3] . Alternative therapy has demonstrated halting growth of cancer cells and a decreased risk of developing cancer [4] . Research has delineated that higher intake of fruits and vegetables in a diet is linked to a lower risk of malignancies in the breast, colon, lung, pancreas, bladder, larynx, stomach, mouth and esophagus [5] .  \nChemoprevention is an alternative to chemotherapy which uses natural or synthetic agents to inhibit, suppress or reverse the initial stages of carcinogenesis or to prevent the invading potential of premalignant cells [6] . Chemopreventive agents have two modes of action: to prevent carcinogenesis by guarding against DNA damage or to prevent malignancy  \nby blocking division of cells with DNA damage [7] . Using chemopreventive agents as an alternative to traditional cancer treatments is a rational approach in the management of cancer. Dietary components such as capsaicin, cucurbitacin B (CuB), flavonoids, catechins, lycopenes, benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), resveratrol, and piperlongumine have demonstrated chemopreventive potential [7] .  \nFigure 1 illustrates the chemical structures of several phytochemicals that are associated with cancer prevention. The importance of providing the chemical structure revolves around how these phytochemicals are able to react with receptors and tissues within the body to prevent cancer.  \nThe Carica papaya plant, more commonly known as the papaya plant of the Caricaceae family, is known to have many medicinal benefits. It is a fast-growing plant commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world [8] . The bark, leaf, and seeds of the plant have been used as home remedies for gastrointestinal ailments, and preventative measures for cancer in different cultures, most notably in Indian and Indigenous Australian tribe populations [1] . Table 1 demonstrates the different phytochemical components found in the Caricaceae plant that provide cytotoxic effects when used as a treatment in different cancers that are investigated in this review.
