Cancer treatment has enjoyed half a century of healthy development, relying mainly on surgery, cytotoxic therapy and radiation. Achievements and successes are well reflected in the longer survival period and better quality of life. Nonetheless, cancer still spreads locally, recurs, metastasizes and remains one of the top killers.Instead of concentrating on cancer removal, it has become obvious that supportive measures are also important. These include the means to improve quality of life during treatment and to contain tumor growth. To this end, herbal medicine appears to offer holistic support via as yet unknown pathways.This volume reveals the practice of cancer treatment using herbs from all over the world, including China, India and Japan. It provides comprehensive information about the herbs commonly used, the logic of using the herbs, some of the mechanisms of action and other means of palliative treatment. While cancer victims have a thirst for choosing their own supplementary treatment, health providers have a duty to explain to them the justifications and the options.Sample Chapter(s)Chapter 1: The Scientific Basis of Chinese Medicine andCancer Care: A Western Medicine Perspective (272 KB)Contents:The Scientific Basis of Chinese Medicine and Cancer Care: A Western Medicine Perspective (S M Sagar & R Wong)Recent Status and Outlook of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Cancer Treatment (D-H Zhou)Chinese Medicine and Cancer Treatment in Hong Kong: A General Review (P-C Leung et al.)Advancements of Ayurveda in Cancer Management with Special Focus on Hepatocellular Carcinoma (P Balachandran)Complementary Approaches to Cancer in Italy (R W Moss)Kampo Treatment for Cancer (K Watanabe)Risk Management of Complementary Alternative Medicines in Cancer (U Werneke)Complementary Therapies for Cancer Patients (B R Cassileth et al.)Positive Findings about Herbs and Natural Products Action on Cancer (M J Montbriand)Mechanistic Studies on Combination of Phytochemicals and Synthetic Drugs as Anti-Cancer Agents (S HemaIswarya and M Doble)Ethnopharmacology Approaches for Botanical Immunomodulators and Chemoprotectants in Cancer Therapy (P Bhushan & G Manish)Bioactive Polysaccharides from TCM Herbs as Anti-Cancer Adjuvants (R Chang)Clinical Evaluation of Herbal Formula Decoction in Treating Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer by Various Rating Scales (J You & Z-M Shi)New Approach for Evaluating the Anti-Breast Cancer Activity of Traditional Chinese Medicine (J M Pezzuto et al.)Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Acupuncture (G Deng & B Cassileth)Readership: Practitioners, educators, clinical and basic researchers, and health science students in traditional Chinese medicine; herbalists; cancer researchers; oncologists; clinicians in Western medicine; medical researchers; and pharmaceutical companies.
