Abstract
This review comments on the article "To explore the mechanism of Yigong San anti-gastric cancer and immune regulation". We are interested that the article applied network pharmacology and bioinformatics techniques to elucidate the mechanism of action of Yigong Sang, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). The mechanism of action of Yigong Sang in the treatment of GC has not yet been elucidated because it is composed of multiple Chinese medicines with multiple components and multiple targets. The emergence of network pharmacology and bioinformatics analysis helps explain the mechanism of action of TCM in preventing and treating GC, and provides a possibility for TCM to transform from empirical to evidence-based medicine. This is of great significance for the application of TCM in oncology, new drug development, formula optimization, and the improvement of clinical efficacy.
