“…As limonene, geraniol shows interesting anticancer properties (Crowell, ). The efficacy of geraniol has been demonstrated by numerous studies in vitro and in vivo on many cancers including prostate (Kim et al , ), kidney (Ahmad et al , ), liver (Cardozo et al , ; Ong et al , ; Polo et al , ), colon (Carnesecchi et al , ; Carnesecchi et al , ; Carnesecchi et al , ; Vieira et al , ), pancreas (Burke et al , ; Wiseman et al , ), breast (Duncan et al , ), mouth (Vinothkumar and Manoharan, ), and skin (Yu et al , ).
