Among the various forms of CAM, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the few that has a well con- structed theoretical framework and established treatment approaches for diseases including cancer. Recent research has revealed growing evidence suggesting that TCM is effective in the supportive care of cancer patients during and after major conventional cancer treatments (surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy). This effectivenessseemstomediatemainlythroughthreeapproaches:(1)Improvement oftumourresponseandreductionofadversetreatmenteffects;(2)Immunitymodu- lationand(3)Enhancementofsymptomcontrol.Thischapterreviewedtheconcepts behindwhichTCMtreatmentapproaches insupportivecareofcancer patientsare formulatedandthepublishedlaboratoryandclinicalevidencesupportingtheusage ofvariousTCMtreatmentstrategiesincludingherbalmedicine,acupuncture,dietary modificationsandqigongenergytherapy. 1.1 Introduction Upto80%ofcancerpatientsintheWesterncountrieshaveutilizedsomeformsof complementaryandalternativemedicine(CAM)tosupporttheirconventionalcan- certherapies(ErnstandCassileth1998;Boonetal.1999).Amongthevariousforms ofCAM,traditionalChinesemedicine(TCM)isoneofthefewthathasawellcon- structed theoretical framework and established treatment approaches for diseases includingcancer.Initscountryoforigin,TCMhasbeenusedforthousandsofyears fortreatingcancersandcontinuoustobeawellacceptedformoftreatmentmodality foreffectivecancermanagement,particularlywhenusedincombinationwithother majorconventionaltherapiessuchassurgery,radiotherapyandchemotherapy.
