Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chinese Herbal Medicine Assisted Anti-Cancer - Protecting Life Balance with the Power of Nature

For cancer patients, the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, postoperative physical weakness or decreased quality of life in the late stage often require gentler solutions. Guangzhou R&F Hospital Cancer Center takes traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine as the core, combined with modern evidence-based medicine, to provide international patients (especially those in Southeast Asia and the Middle East) with a special program of "reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy, strengthening the body's health and consolidating the foundation", helping patients improve their anti-cancer tolerance and improve their quality of life.

 

The core concept of traditional Chinese medicine anti-cancer

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cancer is the result of "deficiency of the body's health and excess of evil", and treatment should be based on the principle of "strengthening the body's health and eliminating evil", by regulating the body's qi and blood, and the balance of yin and yang, to activate its own disease resistance. The key points of auxiliary treatment include:

  1. Relieve side effects: bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy (anemia, leukopenia), radiation enteritis, targeted drug rash, etc.;

  2. Strengthen physical fitness: postoperative qi and blood deficiency, fatigue, night sweats, and loss of appetite;

  3. Prevent recurrence and metastasis: regulate the "cancer state" microenvironment and inhibit the activity of residual cancer cells;

  4. Improve symptoms: physical and mental problems such as cancer pain, insomnia, and anxiety.
