Abstract:

Tremendous progress was achieved in clinical oncology during the recent decades. The application of the combination therapy on patients with malignant tumors has significantly improved their prognosis, survival rate, and quality of life. The utilization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)in the combination therapy has been playing an important role. Analyzing the principles of TCM in treating malignant tumors has demonstrated that the principles of heat-clearing and detoxification (HCD), promoting blood circulation to remove stasis (PBCRS), and strengthening the body resistance and consolidating the constitution (SBRCC), are most frequently Performed and closely related in the clinical practice of cancer therapy. How these therapeutic principles of TCM can treat malignant tumors? The understanding of their therapeutic mechanisms in modern science is helpful to guide their clinical applications.
