7. Treatment Philosophy & Modalities
The department integrates medical care, scientific research, and clinical education through a comprehensive TCM and integrative medicine model. Our approach emphasizes:
Syndrome differentiation combined with disease identification
Treatment integrated with prevention and rehabilitation
Humanistic care and social responsibility
Guided by the principle of "Strengthening Healthy Qi and Eliminating Pathogenic Factors" (扶正祛邪), we address the core pathogenesis of cancer—"root deficiency with branch excess" (本虚标实)—by harmonizing organ function alongside detoxification, softening hardness and dissipating masses, and resolving blood stasis to unblock collaterals. This systematic approach aims to suppress tumor progression, mitigate adverse effects of conventional therapy, improve quality of life, and prolong survival.
Treatment Modalities:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (herbal therapy)
Radiotherapy
Chemotherapy
Interventional therapy
Targeted therapy
Immunotherapy
Cellular therapy
30+ TCM appropriate techniques, including acupuncture, herbal hot compresses, herbal fumigation and washing, acupoint plastering, massage, gua sha, and cupping
