Abstract:

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer worldwide. Its morbidity and mortality remain significantly high. HCC invasion and metastasis are key factors affecting the efficacy of therapy to patients; they also are the indicators to evaluate the prognosis and survival of patients. Therefore, finding ways to repress HCC invasion and metastasis is a popular area of research. In this article, we introduce how traditional Chinese medicine comprehends the progress of HCC invasion/ metastasis in the aspects of: theory investigation, experimental study, and clinical study, and provide the summary of research progress of traditional Chinese medicine for the invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Key words: hepatocellular carcinoma, Chinese medicine, invasion, metastasis
