NHS Choices looks at chokeberry extract, following a study into its use in chemotherapy

Researchers found that adding the chokeberry extract to gemcitabine (a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer) was more effective at halting the growth of cancer cells than the drug alone.

Pancreatic cancer is a condition with notoriously poor prognosis, and the possibility of any new treatment on the horizon is encouraging. However, it is uncertain whether these positive lab results would translate to a real-world setting. It is expected that, based on these promising results, further studies will look into the possibility of human trial(s).
