Abstract
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system, and its incidence has an upward trend in China. In recent years, the role of traditional Chinese herbal medicine in treatment of colorectal cancer has attracted the attention of researchers. Traditional Chinese medicine exerts anti-colorectal cancer effects by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and migration, inducing cell apoptosis and autophagy, reducing telomerase activity and vascular endothelial growth factor production, and arresting cell cycle progression. This paper summarizes the progress in research of anti-colorectal cancer effects of traditional Chinese herbal medicine in terms of mechanisms of action and clinical applications.
