Huazhuojiedu decoction, a Chinese herbal preparation, has been proven to be clinically effective in treating precancerous lesions in gastric cancer (PLGC). This formula is optimized from a classic formula called "Ganluxiaodu Dan." Although some experiments have shown that Huazhuojiedu decoction is effective against PLGC, the mechanism remains unclear.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of death due to cancer worldwide. The gastric mucosa often undergoes many years of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) stages before progressing to gastric malignancy. Unfortunately, there are no effective Western drugs for patients with PLGC. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been proven effective in treating PLGC. Classical TCM formulas and chemical components isolated from some Chinese herbal medicines have been administered to treat PLGC, and the main advantage is their comprehensive intervention with multiple approaches and multiple targets. In this review, we focus on recent studies using TCM treatment for PLGC, including clinical observations and experimental research, with a focus on targets and mechanisms of drugs. This review provides some ideas and a theoretical basis for applying TCM to treat PLGC and prevent GC.

Traditional Chinese medicine for precancerous lesions of gastric cancer: A review.

Refractory peptic ulcers lead to perforation and hemorrhage, which are fatal. However, these remain a therapeutic challenge. Gastric mucosal blood flow is crucial in maintaining gastric mucosal health. It's reported that Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), a gastrointestinal hormone, stimulated intestinal blood flow. However, the direct role of GLP-2 in gastric mucosal blood flow and metabolites remain unclear. Here, we speculated that GLP-2 might protect the gastric mucosa by increasing gastric mucosal blood flow and regulating metabolites. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of GLP-2 in gastric mucosal lesions and its underlying mechanism.

Gastric cancer treatment is complicated by the molecular heterogeneity of human tumor cells, which limits the efficacy of standard therapy and necessitates the need for personalized treatment development. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are promising preclinical cancer models, exhibiting high clinical efficacy in predicting drug sensitivity, thus providing a new means for personalized precision medicine.
