Abstract:
Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for malignant tumors, aiming to kill tumor cells and improve patient survival. However, the new study have found that chemotherapy also promotes distant metastasis of tumors while treating tumor, and the article will give further new meaning to "chemotherapy side effects." On the other hand, tumor metastasis is the main cause of short-term survival of patients. Inhibition of tumor metastasis caused by chemotherapy is a hot topic that should be widely concerned. Modern research suggests that chemotherapeutic drugs promote tumor metastasis by inducing changes in the biological characteristics of tumors and causing a series of "host reactions". The article summarizes the mechanisms of chemotherapy-induced tumor metastasis in combination with the seed and soil theory related to tumor metastasis.
