Antidepressants in treatment of glioma:research advances / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

There is a certain correlation between glioma and depression,both of which belong to brain diseases. Glioma pa?tients often have comorbid depression which is not conducive to the treatment of glioma. By retrieving a large number of domestic and foreign literature,we found antidepressants can efficiently prevent and treat glioma,but the treatment mechanism is not clear. Through analyzing the correlation between depression and glioma on clinical features,pathological characteristics and traditional Chi?nese medicine theory,this paper reviews the research progress on the mechanism of anti-depression drugs against glioma. It aims to provide a reference for anti-glioma drugs screening and new ideas for exploration of treatment strategy of glioma.
