Precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) are considered as a high-risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. Existing studies have confirmed that hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) plays a key role in the progression of PLGC. HIF-1α promotes the malignant transformation of PLGC by regulating various cellular processes, including angiogenesis, aerobic glycolysis, autophagy, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been shown to modulate the HIF-1α signaling pathway and inhibit these pathological processes, thereby intervening in the development of PLGC. This review will focus on the mechanisms by which HIF-1α mediates PLGC and summarize the potential applications of TCM in the prevention and treatment of PLGC, aiming to provide a clear molecular framework for TCM intervention in PLGC and offer theoretical support and research directions for the development of innovative HIF-1α-targeted Chinese medicines.
