Abstract

Oral cancer patients with recurrence or distant metastasis often present poor prognosis. Majority of advanced oral cancer patients suffer from treat-related adverse events and drug resistance. For those patients, the survival time and quality of life are urgent to be improved. Anlotinib, as a multi-targets tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been demonstrated to be effective in many refractory tumors by inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and partial functions of tumor cells. In this paper, we performed CCK-8 assay, wound healing assay and transwell assay to explore the effect of anlotinib on human tongue squamous carcinoma Tca8113 cell line. Preliminary data indicated that anlotinib significantly inhibited Tca8113 cells proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. Together, we proposed a hypothesis that anlotinib might be effective in prolonging survival time of patients with advanced oral cancer.
