Abstract

In the 1960s, some studies found that Danshen could prolong the survival of mice suffering from Ehrich ascites carcinoma. Over the last 40 years, numerous experimental studies and clinical practices have been undertaken which demonstrated that Danshen (mainly tanshinone and Tanshinol ) has the ability to inhibit the growth of a great variety of tumor cells. As an anti-tumor auxiliary drug, it has good prospects for clinical application and has been used as the adjunctive therapy for tumors in clinical practice.
