Objectives: The purpose of this study is to suggest better directions in experimental researches about finding new drug derived from herbs in South Korea.
Methods: We investigated available manuscripts on anti-lung cancer herbal extracts which is used in South Korea by using available electric library, and made diagrams.
Results: Many herbs are used in treatment of lung cancer based on traditional oriental medical theory. In Korea, researches for this field have been activated since 2000. But we haven’t found the substance showing remarkable anti-tumor effect on lung cancer. And many of the experiment have been designed similar way and also have similar weak points in explanation about the apoptotic mechanism.
Conclusions: From this results, we have found 10 herbs, 4 pharmacopunctures and 13 herbal decoctions to be conducted experimental studies for lung cancer from 2000 to 2008 in South Korea.
