About this Research Topic
Traditional Medicine has been shown to be able to prevent and treat tumor diseases by improving tumor immune suppression, enhancing patient immune function, reshaping tumor microenvironment (e.g., improving inflammatory microenvironment, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, regulating body acidity and hypoxic environment, etc.), however, there is still insufficient clinical and basic research on Traditional Medicine interventions preventing and treating tumors through inflammatory cancer.
The Research Topic aims to gather original studies, reviews, systematic reviews and mini-reviews related to promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers, new pathological mechanisms and new therapeutic drugs involved in the latest treatment strategies for inflammation-cancer and tumor diseases. Potential topics of interest might include, but are not limited to the following:
- Discovery of new mechanisms of inflammation-cancer, focusing on metabolic abnormalities and immune-inflammatory responses.
- Exploration of the effects, efficacy and safety of Traditional Medicine on inflammation-cancer.
- Review of the effects of Traditional Medicine in the treatment of inflammation-cancer, such as TCM, European phytotherapy and Indian traditional medicine.
-New applications of Traditional Medicine in the treatment of inflammation-cancer.
