摘要
Malignant tumor which can proliferate abnormally and transfer rapidly to other tissues, holds high mortality rate and is difficult to cure. Herewith it is responsible for great loss in economy. L-theanine, the specific amino acid in tea, performed a significant anti-tumor potential, it works via various methods, such as exert antitumor effect by itself; increase antitumor drugs concentration in tumor cells, inhibit tumor cell invasion and so on. Here, the authors elucidate and discuss these mechanisms comprehensively.
