Dr. William Li, in his TED Talk, "Can we eat to starve cancer?" (link below) mentioned how the combination of Japanese Sencha and Chinese Jasmine Dragon Pearls resulted in a highly anti-angiogenic tea, more so than either Sencha or Chinese Jasmine Dragon alone.
So my question:
What other combinations of herbs in your opinion would be considered to be highly anti-angiogenic? I believe Pau 'd Arco on its own would be another.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality, a highly effective treatment with low side effects and tolerance is needed.
Photothermal immunotherapy is a promising treatment combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and immunotherapy. PTT induces the release of tumor-associated antigens by ablating tumor and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP) enhance the antitumor immunity.
Results showed that Indocyanine Green (ICG) was successfully encapsulated into SF-Gel. ICG could convert light to heat and SF-Gel accelerates the photothermal effect in vitro and in vivo.
PTT based on ICG/ICG-SF-Gel inhibited the growth of primary and distal tumors, GLP enhanced the inhibitory efficacy. ICG/ICG-SF-Gel-based PTT and GLP immunotherapy improved the survival time. ICG/ICG-SF-Gel-based PTT induces tumor necrosis and GLP enhanced the photothermal efficacy. ICG/ICG-SF-Gel-based PTT inhibited cell proliferation and angiogenesis, induced cell apoptosis, enhanced cellular immunity, and GLP enhanced these effects.
In conclusion, GLP could enhance the abscopal effect of PTT in Hepatoma-bearing mice.
