Oxidative stress assayed by analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion and H2O2, and antioxidant enzymes. Chemotherapy is one of the promising treatment for cervical cancer before or after surgery. Chemotherapy has many side effects which are life threatening. Wheatgrass juice to help offset chemotherapy side effects and may inhibit cancer by reducing oxidative stress. Nutritive supplements of wheatgrass juice maintains the blood LPO level and a positive balance of antioxidants for a better outcome in terms of delayed recurrence and better Quality of Life for cervical cancer patients.
