It turns out that this is the greatest help that traditional Chinese medicine can provide to cancer patients.

On May 20, 2021, the 81st patient education live broadcast of TopMD's brand patient education program in the field of oncology, "Let's Meet the Great Doctor", discussed: What role does traditional Chinese medicine play in cancer treatment?

In this episode of "Let's Meet the Doctor", we invited Professor Ye Peizhi, deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, to broadcast live on the homepages of 7 platforms in the TopMD all-media matrix: Sina News, Tencent News, Healthy China TV, Tencent Video, Toutiao, Xigua Video, and Baidu Health, with an online viewing volume of 289,146 times.

To make it easier for patients to watch, we edited the highlights of this live broadcast into an anti-cancer public course and broadcast it again on the entire network. In today's episode (1), we will talk about: At which stages can Chinese medicine participate in tumor treatment? Why is Chinese medicine people-oriented? What role can Chinese medicine play in treating tumors? Will there be conflicts with Western medicine treatment?

TCM can be involved in the treatment of tumors from the time they are diagnosed to the end stage. At different stages of treatment, such as after surgery, during chemotherapy, during radiotherapy, when the patient's physical condition changes, etc., TCM can provide individualized interventions for each patient's different conditions. People-oriented, tailored to each individual, and tailored to the symptoms, help patients better cooperate with Western medicine treatment.

Director Ye Peizhi said that in clinical work, the most common patients he encounters are those whose Western medicine treatment has come to an end and who have entered the rehabilitation adjustment stage. From the perspective of Western medicine, the condition entering a relatively stable stage does not mean that the patient's quality of life has returned to normal, and there are often some obvious imbalances in their physical constitution.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can help patients restore their body balance, enabling elderly patients with weak constitutions to achieve a low level of balance and young patients to achieve a high level of balance. It can improve the quality of life of patients and help them better return to society, family and life.
