Role of thymoquinone in treatment of pancreatic cancer / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Pancreatic cancer is one of the cancers with the worst prognosis, and its high metastasis rate and resistance to chemotherapy drugs have always been the tough problems in the medical field. At present, the effect of thymoquinone on pancreatic cancer has attracted wide attention, and it can exert an antitumor effect in pancreatic cancer by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting cancer cell apoptosis, inhibiting invasion and metastasis, enhancing the sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs, and exerting an anti-inflammatory effect. This review briefly introduces the current research status of the association between thymoquinone and pancreatic cancer in China and globally, so as to provide a reference for subsequent research.
