Summary

This systematic review highlights the pivotal functions of ginsenosides in cancer treatment through miRNA regulation. Ginsenosides, bioactive herbal compounds derived from ginseng, exhibit significant anti-cancer properties through mechanisms including inhibition of cell proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metastasis, invasion, and induction of autophagy and apoptosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs, play critical roles in gene regulation and have emerged as potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets in various cancers. Ginsenosides influence miRNA expression, underexpressing oncogenic miRNAs and overexpressing tumor suppressor miRNAs, thereby exerting their anti-cancer effects. The literature review covered studies from 2011 to 2021 sourced
