Abstract: The coix seed is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. The main antitumor components of coix seed are the semen coicis glycerides. Its commercial preparation, the Kanglaite injection, has significant effects on primary hepatic carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer, especially when combined with chemotherapy. The combined treatment of Kanglaite and chemotherapy improved the symptoms, as well as extended the time to tumor progression and overall survival of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
