Abstract:
As the research on the signal transduction pathway of tumor is developing, people has become more aware of the confusion of the signal transduction mechanisms on the tumor cells and their effects on tumor growth, apoptosis, and metastasis. Currently, the research that Chinese medicine and its extract inducing apoptosis and angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma by acting on the signal transduction pathway has made gratifying progress. In this article, we will provide an overview of recent literature about this.
