Abstract

Previous studies showed EWE could strongly inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells in vivo. Experimental results also showed that EWE had antitumor effect in S180-bearing mice and H22-bearing mice and prolonged life-span in S180-bearing mice in this paper, Furthermore, it was found that EWE could improve the immune function of S180-bearing mice. Therefore EWE can be considered as a potent antitumor herb.
