The adjuvant value of Andrographis paniculata in metastatic esophageal cancer treatment – from preclinical perspectives
Abstract Esophageal cancer (EC) is the fourth and sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China and United States, respectively. The dismal prognosis of EC is mainly attributed to distant metastases, which may not be overcome by chemotherapy alone. Hence, the use of alternative adjuvant trea...
