Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment: A Literature Review of the Novel Anti-Tumor Mechanism of Statins

Statins is widely used in clinical practice as lipid-lowering drugs and has been proven to be effective in the treatment of cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic syndrome and other diseases. The latest preclinical evidence shows that statins have anti-proliferation, pro-apoptotic, anti-invasion and r...
