Oral malignant tumor is a common pathological change of head and neck, and it is a general term for malignant tumors that occur in the oral cavity, including gum cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, lip cancer, tongue cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, etc. Oral malignant tumors are mostly treated with comprehensive treatment in clinical. Curcumin is the active ingredient from Curcumae Longae Rhizoma and Curcumae Radix, which can play a significant anti-cancer effect by inducing apoptosis, inhibiting cell proliferation, reducing tumor cell invasiveness, inducing autophagy, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, anti-oral fibrosis, improving the curative effect of chemoradiotherapy and other ways. This paper reviews the mechanism of curcumin in prevention and treatment of oral malignant tumors, hoping to provide a reference for the clinical application of curcumin.
