TCM offers a range of therapies that can serve as a supportive tool alongside conventional cancer treatments. Evidence suggests it can help reduce side effects, improve quality of life, and potentially enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, patients should approach TCM with caution, use it as a complementary therapy under the supervision of both their oncologist and a licensed TCM practitioner, and never replace conventional care with TCM alone. Ongoing research will continue to shed light on its specific mechanisms and applications in modern oncology.
