Watermelon is a good source of antioxidants and nutrients, and Pear can help to stop tumor growth., please be aware that pears and watermelon can increase sugar levels.
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), botanically considered as a fruit, belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae (Edwards et al., 2003[37]). It is native to Kalahari desert of Africa but nowadays, it is also cultivated in tropical regions of the world.
Cucurbitacin E which is located in watermelon, research indicates that this compound may inhibit tumor growth by encouraging the body’s natural processes of eliminating and destroying cancer cells.
The suppression of tumor growth in nude mice was evaluated and compared with the effect of a synthetic retinoid N-(4-hydroxyphernyl) retinamide (4-HPR), which is currently used as a chemoprevention agent.

Also, Effects of cactus ( which is located in pears) products on cell proliferation in monolayer cultures: Cells were plated in 96-well plates at a concentration of 10 cells per well and grown for 24 hours. The cells were then incubated in cactus pear solution at different concentrations for 1, 3, or 5 days. Growth inhibition was determined using the crystal violet method, as described. Briefly, after 5 days of treatment, cells were fixed by 5% glutartaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), rinsed with distilled water, and dried completely.

May offer anticancer effects: Pears contain various compounds that may exhibit anticancer properties. For example, their anthocyanin and chlorogenic acid contents have been shown to protect against cancer
