Abstract:
The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing, and inevitably progresses to castration-resistant prostate cancer. Although the treatment is constantly updated, the prognosis is still not optimistic. Because of its unique advantages of effect-enhancing and toxicity-reducing, improving quality of life, and prolonging survival time, Chinese medicine has occupied a very important position in the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer. This article summarizes the clinical and basic research of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and provides reference for clinical treatment and basic research.
