In recent years, seeking effective anti-angiogenic components and therapeutic methods from traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been a hot spot in the treatment of malignant tumors. In particular, the active ingredients found in Chinese herbal extracts have shown strong inhibition of tumor neovascularization.

According to the report of the National Cancer Center, there are about 4.5 million new cancer patients and 3 million deaths in China every year. How to effectively implement a comprehensive system of prevention and control measures and reduce the incidence rate of malignant tumors in the country, so that the mortality rate of cancer is effectively controlled is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. In particular, it is worth mentioning that in China, the addition of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of malignant tumor plays an important role in improving the therapeutic effect, reducing the toxic and side effects of comprehensive treatment, improving the quality of life, and "survival with tumor" of end-stage cancer patients. Professor Wang Xisheng has been engaged in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer for more than 40 years. In his long-term clinical practice, he has accumulated rich experience in the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors. This article introduces Professor Wang's thinking on cancer in clinical practice and the "Fu Yuan Fu Heng method" in the treatment of malignant tumors for reference.

AbstractMalignant tumor has become one of the major diseases that seriously endangers human health. Numerous studies have demonstrated that tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely associated with patient prognosis. Tumor growth and progression are strongly dependent on its surrounding tumor microenvironment, because the optimal conditions originated from stromal elements are required for cancer cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis and drug resistance. The tumor microenvironment is an environment rich in immune/inflammatory cells and accompanied by a continuous, gradient of hypoxia and pH. Overcoming immunosuppressive environment and boosting anti-tumor immunity may be the key to the prevention and treatment of cancer. Most traditional Chinese medicine have been proved to have good anti-tumor activity, and they have the advantages of better therapeutic effect and few side effects in the treatment of malignant tumors. An increasing number of studies are giving evidence that alkaloids extracted from traditional Chinese medicine possess a significant anticancer efficiency via regulating a variety of tumor-related genes, pathways and other mechanisms. This paper reviews the anti-tumor effect of alkaloids targeting tumor microenvironment, and further reveals its anti-tumor mechanism through the effects of alkaloids on different components in tumor microenvironment.
