Perioperative, Radiotherapy, and Chemotherapy Period:

• Pre-surgery TCM treatment helps correct the imbalance of Yin and Yang, broadens the scope of surgical indications, and enhances the patient's stress response ability.
• Post-surgery TCM treatment promotes the adjustment of spleen and stomach functions, boosts immune function, and lays a foundation for further radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
• TCM can effectively prevent and treat side effects of radiotherapy and can enhance the effectiveness of radiation treatments. It can also improve the effects of chemotherapy, reduce chemotherapy side effects, and reverse drug resistance.

Maintenance Treatment Period:

After completing Western medical treatment and before tumor recurrence or metastasis, patients often experience a "window period" where no significant abnormalities are detected through tests. However, behind these normal results, the subtle processes of tumor recurrence or metastasis never truly cease. Currently, there is no universally accepted treatment for this "window period," but TCM has significant potential in this phase, making it an ideal time for TCM cancer treatment.

Palliative Care Period:

Palliative care aims to assist patients who have lost the chance for curative treatment, typically in the mid to late stages of cancer, by helping them achieve and maintain the best possible state of physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, and social functioning. This provides maximum comfort to patients and their families, aiming to ensure the best possible quality of life.
TCM has considerable advantages in relieving cancer pain, improving cachexia, and reducing anxiety and depression in patients. Its role in palliative cancer care continues to highlight its importance and value.

Precancerous Lesion Period:

Cancer development involves external carcinogens disrupting metabolism, activating oncogenes, damaging DNA, and inhibiting tissue self-repair. This process progresses to precancerous lesions, which may take a long time. Transition from precancerous lesions to in situ cancer, and from in situ cancer to invasive or metastatic cancer, generally takes about 5 to 20 years, providing ample time for prevention and treatment using TCM. Both clinical and experimental evidence show that TCM can reverse precancerous lesions and prevent the occurrence of tumors.
