Abstract

The incidence of cancer in the world has been rising in recent years. Although Western medicine has the ability to treat tumors, some Western cancer treatments cause serious and even irreversible damage to the body. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combines the excellence of Chinese philosophy and the cumulative knowledge of thousands of years of clinical practice. TCM has incomparable advantages in the prevention and treatment of tumors. This review summarizes the epidemiological data of tumors and focuses on the pathogenesis theory of tumors. It demonstrates the advantages and shortcomings of TCM in tumor prevention and treatment. Based on our clinical experience, we put forward an optimization plan of TCM treatments of tumors and a plan for the propagation of TCM culture, which we believe will help TCM become more recognized in international medicine.
