结合中西医一同治疗癌症能使癌症患者受益更多。虽然中医并不是癌症的主要治疗方式。但中医能为癌症病人在治疗中获得有效的营养补给。
由于中医采取整体治疗方式，将所有可能损害人体免疫力的各种外部因素考虑进去，并依照病患的身体状况提供量身定制的建议和治疗，以从根源解决疾病问题。
例如，建议癌症患者充分休息，吃有营养的食物，保持活跃，保持低压力水平并保持积极的心理健康。
中医包括针灸丶中草药丶营养和饮食疗法丶推拿穴位按摩以及“太极拳”和“气功”练习。
TCM Cancer Complementary Care
An integration of Western Medicine and TCM for cancer treatment may benefit cancer patients. TCM is not meant to be the main treatment mode for cancer. However, it can be an effective complement to cancer treatment.
As TCM takes a holistic approach to treatment, it also considers a wide range of external factors that can compromise the body’s immunity and provides tailored advice and treatment to target the root issues of the disease. For instance, cancer patients would be advised to get enough rest, take nutritious foods, stay active, keep their stress levels low and maintain a positive mental health.
TCM modalities include Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition and dietary therapy, Tuina Acupressure, and “tai chi” and “qi gong” exercises.
