Abstract
Autophagy is a self-protection mechanism of cells. Cells can degrade damaged organelles and macromolecules in this way to guarantee the growth and development of cells. In recent years, more and more researches have found that autophagy also plays a certain role in the occurrence and development of tumors. The dual role of autophagy in the development of tumors includes inhibiting the development of tumors; meanwhile, under the condition of insufficient nutrition, autophagy degrades organelles to reduce oxidative stress and provide nutrition and energy for tumor cells so as to protect tumor cells. The regulation of autophagy depends on the development of the tumor, and the corresponding autophagy inducers or inhibitors are constantly emerging, which provides a new direction for tumor treatment.
