METHODS: We observed the effects and mecha- nisms of Chinese medicines on inhibiting tumor an- giogenesis and studied the theories and results of treatment. Sixty patients with lung cancer were ran- domized into two groups (n=30). Patients in the control group were given compound Kushen injec- tion, and patients in the treatment group were giv- en Erbanxiao solution. The effect of Erbanxiao solu- tion on vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and tumor ne- crosis factor-α (TNF-α) was observed. RESULTS: The effective rate of the treatment group was 60% while the control group was 36%. There was a significant difference between the twogroups (P〈0.05). VEGF, bFGF, and TNF-a levels of the two groups were significantly different before and after treatment (P〈0.01). These Traditional Chi- nese Medicines significantly inhibited tumor angio- genesis, possibly by changing levels of VEGF, bFGF, and TNF-α. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to further explore the potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the treatment of angiogenesis in tumor patients.展开更多
