Description
Integration of Chinese medicine in a cancer treatment strategy offers major advantages in dealing with commonly seen complications of
the disease and in combating the side-effects of treatment by conventional medicine methods such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
This new reference is the first comprehensive book in English on the Chinese medicine approach to cancer management, written by a highly
respected TCM oncology specialist. Drawing on the author's wide experience in one of Beijing's leading hospitals, Management of Cancer
with Chinese Medicine provides a unique insight into the Chinese approach to treating cancer, emphasizing the roles played by acupuncture,
herbal medicine, Qigong therapy and diet therapy in strengthening the body and acting synergistically with conventional medicine to radically
improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
