Some hematological parameters, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and hemoglobin content, were also measured.Results The results showed that BSC has a positive effect against EAC cells. An assessment was conducted by comparing these results with those obtained using the standard drug bleomycin.Conclusions The BSC compound can be considered as a potent anticancer agent.
