Qian et al. (2023) demonstrated that a ginger polysaccharide, UGP1; reduced tumor proliferation in tumor-bearing mice; raised the p53 expression and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2; enhanced proinflammatory cytokine secretion, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6; and decreased the secretion of pro-tumor cytokines TGF-β and bFGF in serum. Here, TNF is linked to neoplasm.
