Abstract:
Doxorubicin as a member of the anthracycline-based drugs, is widely used in cancer chemotherapy, while its significant cardiac toxicity and cytotoxicity limit its application to some extent.Therefore, it's a valuable exploring topic on how to improve the effect and reduce the adverse drug reactions of doxorubicin chemotherapy.This paper attempted to analyze the literatures about TCM combined with doxorubicin in nearly 15 years, including clinical use and experimental studies, to provide reference for the clinical application.
