Tumor cells produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) but cannot detoxify ROS if they are due to an external agent.

Lung cancer remains a major global health challenge and one of the leading causes cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite significant advancements in treatment, challenges such as drug resistance, side effects, metastasis recurrence continue to impact patient outcomes quality life. In response, there is growing interest complementary integrative approaches care. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with its long history, abundant clinical experience, holistic perspective individualized approach, has garnered increasing attention for role lung prevention management. This review provides comprehensive overview advances TCM covering theoretical foundation, treatment principles, experiences evidence supporting efficacy. We also provide systematic summary preclinical mechanisms, through which impacts cancer, including induction cell death, reversal inhibition modulation immune responses. Additionally, future prospects are discussed, offering insights into expanded application integration modern address this challenging disease.

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that may progress to Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Lipid metabolism dysregulation has been implicated in tumor development and immune response modulation. This study aims explore the role of lipid metabolism, particularly lipids diacylglycerol (DAG), triacylglycerol (TAG), phosphatidylcholine (PC), progression from OLP OSCC, identify potential therapeutic targets for prevention treatment. We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis investigate causal relationships between risk OSCC. Differential gene expression was conducted key genes related metabolism. The interactions species were examined using drug databases (DrugBank, DGIdb, TCMSP) candidates. Enrichment signaling pathways, including PPAR signaling, also understand underlying mechanisms. Our MR revealed DAG exerts protective effect (OR < 1), but its shifts factor OSCC > potentially by altering microenvironment. TAG PI plays critical tumorigenesis. Gene identified several metabolism-related genes, SLC27A6, FABP3, FABP4, ADIPOQ, PLIN1, whose differed highlighting their importance progression. These enriched pathway, suggesting involvement growth Potential candidates, such as palm acid (PA), Imatinib, Curcumin, through drug-repurposing strategies. crucial Targeting pathways DAG, TAG, PI, offer promising strategies early diagnosis intervention. provides novel insights into molecular mechanisms OLP-to-OSCC suggests natural compounds, future clinical applications. Further research needed validate these findings settings. Not applicable.

Ginseng, the dried root of Panax ginseng C.A. Mey., is widely used in Chinese herbal medicine. Ginsenosides, primary active components ginseng, exhibit diverse anticancer functions through various mechanisms, such as inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, and suppressing invasion migration. In this article, mechanism action 20 ginsenoside subtypes therapy research progress multifunctional nanosystems are reviewed, order to provide reference for clinical prevention treatment cancer.
