Research Progress on Anti-tumor Mechanism of Curcumin
Curcumin is a kind of diketones obtained from the roots of some plants of the family Curcumin and Araceae.Cur-rent scientific research has confirmed that curcumin can induce the apoptosis,control the growth,inhibit the transformation and in-vasion,control the formation of blood vessels,regulate gene expression,sensitize the chemical drugs,reverse the drug resistance and other functions of tumor cells by various mechanisms and methods.Therefore,it can be used for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer,liver cancer,colon cancer,stomach cancer,esophageal cancer and other cancer lesions.In this paper,the main mechanism of curcumin treating tumors and related clinical trials were summarized in order to provide the basis for relevant scientific re-search.
