ABSTRACT
Statins are a kind of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, which are commonly used to reduce cholesterol level, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In recent years, more and more researches have showed that statins could inhibit angiogenesis through inhibiting the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells, and could promote cancer cells apoptosis and synergetically enhance the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to play a potential anti-tumor role. This paper reviews the domestic and foreign research progresses of the anti-tumor mechanisms of statins.
