Abstract:
Malignant tumor is one of the important diseases that affect human health. The occurrence and development of tumors are closely related to the imbalance of immune function. When the body’s immune function is low or suppressed, the traditional treatment methods can not improve the survival of cancer patients. Therefore, improving immunity and reducing immune tolerance have become one of the hotspots in anti-tumor research. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine can regulate T lymphocytes, dendritic cells, natural killer cells and macrophages, so as to improve the body’s immunity and inhibit the occurrence and development of tumors. This article reviews the role of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating tumor immunity and inhibiting tumor progression.
