Chemopreventive effect of modified zeng-sheng-ping on oral squamous cell carcinoma by regulating tumor associated macrophages through targeting tnf alpha induced protein 6.

Researchers developed a modified anti-cancer drug, ZSP-M, based on Zeng-Sheng-Ping, with high efficacy and low toxicity for oral cancer. They aim to understand its pharmacodynamic material basis and its effect on tumor-associated macrophages. This could lead to potentially effective treatments for oral squamous cell carcinoma.
