Summarize literature about the mechanisms of anti-tumor and radiosensitization of Chinese medicine extracts curcumin reported recent years.Curcumin has some antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo

which can inhibit multiple tumors through suppressing tumor angiogenesis

proliferation and invasion

inducing autophagy.In recent years

scholars and experts study on the radiosensitization effect of curcumin

preliminarily confirmed that curcumin plays its radiosensitization effect by regulating cell cycle

promoting cell apoptosis and influencing signal transduction pathways.Which means it has enormous potential in the prevention and treatment of multiple tumors.But the mechanismes of radiosensitization on different cells were unclear

therefore

it is necessary to study further.
