Abstract

Compound Kushen Injection (CKI), as a clinical traditional Chinese medicine preparation, has prominent antitumor effect but with several side effects. A large number of studies have shown that CKI plays an antitumor role by regulating tumor cell proliferation, inducing tumor cell differentiation and apoptosis, inhibiting tumor cell invasion and metastasis, reducing tumor angiogenesis, regulating the immunity, and so on. Clinically, CKI is widely used to treat various tumors, where it is often combined with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and other antitumor treatments. This article reviews the antitumor mechanism of CKI and the progress of its clinical application in order to provide a theoretical basis for further clinical application.
