Abstract:

Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in the digestive tract. Because it is difficult to eradicate and it is highly prone to metastasize, it brings difficulty in treatment. In recent years, studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine Scutellaria barbata can be used for molecular targeted therapy of colorectal cancer and its metastasis through a variety of approaches, mainly including four aspects: signal transduction pathways, related tumor suppressor genes, telomerase activity, and body immunity. Here we review the main approaches in hope of providing referential idea for its clinical application.

Key words: Scutellaria barbata, colorectal cancer, metastasis, molecular mechanism
