Abstract
Cancer remains a significant threat to public health globally. Within the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) framework, cancer is perceived not merely as an isolated disease but as a manifestation of a broader imbalance within the human body. Recent advancements in modern medicine have garnered increased attention toward the integrative approach to cancer therapy, combining conventional treatments with TCM practices focusing on achieving a holistic balance. This article aims to delineate the comprehensive perspective of TCM in integrative cancer therapy, emphasizing its foundational principles of personalized treatment grounded in syndrome differentiation and treatment.
