Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a Chinese herbal medicine composition, which is used in a method for inhibiting melanoma cell metastasis and a method for preparing the same.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Tumor metastasis is a complex process that usually involves several steps. First, the cancer cells detach from the primary site of a tumor, and migrate to the lymphatic system or blood vessels to destroy the vascular basement membrane and enter the lymph or blood. At this time, the cancer cells must escape from the attack of the immune system in order to survive, and adsorb to distant vascular endothelium, extravasate to a new metastatic site, and then regenerate into a tumor.[0003]Melanoma is highly metastatic, and lung is one of the main organs to which it metastasizes. Melanoma having metastatic activity is a more dangerous skin cancer, it is also the main cause of death of skin cancers, about 75%, the prognosis is not good, and the rate for survival longe...
