Ethanolic extract of ChS aerial parts was administered at doses 50, 250 and 500 mg/Kg per oral. The protective effect was determined through weight controls, biochemical and hematological parameters; the antioxidant capacity by superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and anti-inflammatory capacity by the level of C-reactive protein (CRP). The tumors were monitored by using histological examinations. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Oral administration of &lt;em&gt;Chuquiraga spinosa&lt;/em&gt; extract significantly decreased superoxide dismutase malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, C-reactive protein levels (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0,01, &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0,01, &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0,01 and &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0,01 respectively compared with Inductor group). There was a significant increase in the weights of animals (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Considering the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties of &lt;em&gt;Chuquiraga spinosa&lt;/em&gt; extract, we conclude that it has a protective effect on NMU induced gastric cancer in rats.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jorge Luis Arroyo-Acevedo&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Oscar Herrera- Calderon&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;*, Juan Pedro Rojas-Armas&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Victor Chumpitaz-Cerrate&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, C&amp;eacute;sar Franco-Quino&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Ren&amp;aacute;n Ha&amp;ntilde;ari-Quispe&lt;sup&gt;4 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
