Does American pawpaw help against cancer?

Pawpaw is a tree that produces a large yellowish fruit and is toxic to some cancer cells, but such effects have not been shown in humans. Pawpaw prevents the cell from making ATP, an important energy source. Adenosine 5′-triphosphate, or ATP, is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells. It is what we refer to as the energy currency of the cell and can be compared to storing money in a bank. In lab studies, American pawpaw extract killed cancer cells resistant to commonly used chemotherapy drugs such as Adriamycin. American pawpaw also appeared to be more toxic to cancer cells than to normal cells. There are several Web sites that promote pawpaw as an effective treatment for cancer. However, there is very little scientific evidence to support such claims.
