NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) composed of a granule containing
an aqueous extract of Trametes robiniophila murr (Huaier), a mushroom found on hardwood
tree trunks, with potential antineoplastic and anti-angiogenic activities. Although
the exact mechanism of action through which Huaier exerts its effects is largely unknown,
upon administration, this agent induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and inhibits
proliferation and migration of susceptible cancer cells through the modulation of
various signal transduction pathways involved in carcinogenesis and angiogenesis.;
