With the progress of diagnosis and treatment, the role of Chinese materia medica in extending the survival period of cancer patients and improving their quality of life has received increasing attention and recognition. The anti-tumor activity and mechanism of Chinese materia medica have the characteristics of multi-pathway, multi-target, and multi-pathway, such as inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, promoting tumor cell apoptosis, inhibiting tumor cell invasion and metastasis, regulating tumor microenvironment, anti-tumor angiogenesis, and reversing drug resistance.
