Combining Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Improves Quality of Life for Colon Cancer Patients

Reported 8 months ago

The prevalence of colorectal cancer among Taiwanese people is increasing annually, with many patients giving up chemotherapy due to its side effects. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Physicians Association suggests that patients try a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, utilizing acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other complementary methods to reduce discomfort during chemotherapy and enhance immune function, ultimately improving quality of life. By integrating Chinese medicine into treatment, patients can alleviate side effects and complications, leading to a higher survival rate post-surgery and chemotherapy.
