Vinca alkaloids, medicinal derivatives of the plant Vinca Rosea help in the treatment of cancer by the inhibition of the assembly of microtubules, an essential component of the mitotic spindles that form during the metaphase stage of mitosis or cell division. 
Cancer is an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. This uncontrolled cell division or mitosis is halted by the action of Vinca alkaloids.
