Abstract
Cancer occurs in the body due to uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Usually, cells
grow and multiply in the right way. However, damaged genes can cause their abnormal
behavior. They can develop into a lump called tumor. Risk factors are: human genetics
some pathogens, ionizing radiation, chemical or toxic compound exposures and etc. Cancer
symptoms depend on the grade and specific type of the cancer, but some of the general
signs and symptoms are: pain, fatigue, fever, weight loss, unusual bleeding, sk
change in the bowel or bladder function, persistent cough or voice change, lumps or tissue
masses and other. Currently, the most common cancer treatments are chemotherapy,
radiotherapy, surgery, and hormonal therapy. These treatments target onl
and cause further damage to the body. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) concerns
about the overall condition of the body. The TCM treatment is less aggressive; effective,
safe, accessible and affordable to most cancer patients. With
symptoms are controlled, the recovery time is shortened and the survival rates and quality
of life is improved. Traditional Chinese herbs hold a long and proven history, which might
be why nowadays people decide to treat cancer with TC
the toxic effects and enhancing the therapeutic effects of modern cancer therapies,
improving the quality of life, enhancing the immune function and preventing recurrences
and metastasis.
