Research Progress of Chinese Medicine Monomers in Treatment of Cholangiocarcinoma
摘要
Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor originating from cholangiocytes. However
it remains unclear about the pathogenesis of this carcinoma
which may be related to multiple factors. Currently
CCA is mainly treated by surgery
chemotherapy
and radiotherapy. Among them
surgery is the only potentially curative option for CCA. Nevertheless
the high malignancy and asymptomatic nature of CCA may lead to poor treatment outcomes. It has been demonstrated that Chinese medicine (CM) plays a significant role in various antitumor applications. Meanwhile
CM exhibits fewer side effects and high availability. Moreover
the
in vitro
application of CM monomers has been explored in many domestic and foreign studies. This article mainly reviews
the signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms of CM monomers in the treatment of CCA in recent years. These findings are expected to provide new insights into the treatment of CCA.
