Cancer care has made incredible strides with modern advancements in Western medicine, offering patients life-saving options like chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. However, these treatments often focus on targeting the disease itself, sometimes leaving gaps in addressing the patient's overall well-being. This is where Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a complementary perspective, emphasizing the harmony of the body, mind, and spirit.
By integrating TCM with Western approaches, a holistic model of cancer care is emerging. This method leverages the strengths of both traditions, aiming to not only fight cancer but also improve quality of life, reduce treatment side effects, and promote overall health. In this article, we explore how these two medical paradigms can coexist to offer patients a truly comprehensive care experience.
