Norcantharidin (NCTD) is suitable for the treatment of primary liver cancer, especially early and middle primary liver cancer. This compound can reduce tumors and improve immune function. However, the side effects of NCTD have limited its application. There is a marked need to reduce the side effects and increase the efficacy of NCTD.
