Abstract:
The literature review on the treatment mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to ovarian cancer reveals that TCM can not only induce the apoptosis of ovarian cancer cell by three ways, namely mitochondrial pathway, death-receptor pathway, ER stress pathway, but also regulate body immunity and drug-tolerance of chemotherapeutics. The advantages of TCM treatment on tumor include relatively more therapeutic targets, less treating resistance, better medicine effect, less side effects, and lower cost. Through the elaborately designed experimental and assessment criteria, the TCM treatment mechanism can be recognized by in vivo and in vitro study.
