Overview

Kangai No.2 is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formula developed by the Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). It is primarily utilized as an adjuvant therapy to prevent post-operative recurrence and metastasis in patients with CRC. The formula is composed of several medicinal herbs, including *Astragalus membranaceus*, *Atractylodes macrocephala*, and *Scutellaria barbata*, which are thought to work synergistically to inhibit tumor progression. Research indicates that Kangai No.2 exerts its anti-cancer effects by modulating the tumor microenvironment, inhibiting the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, and suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). It is often administered alongside standard chemotherapy to enhance therapeutic efficacy and mitigate treatment-related toxicity.
