The accompanying treatment of breast cancer with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by Barbara Kirschbaum is an important contribution to the complementary treatment of breast cancer using both conventional and Chinese medicine. One in ten women is diagnosed with breast cancer. Modern cancer therapies, whether surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, antibody therapy, or possibly hormone therapy, often have undesirable side effects. With the desire to be free from these side effects, patients seek treatment in Chinese medicine practices. Therefore, the fourth volume of the practice series on the complementary treatment of breast cancer has been dedicated to this topic. In this book, you will learn how common side effects of conventional breast cancer therapy can be treated and significantly alleviated with Chinese medicine. The author specifically addresses the mechanisms of action of commonly used chemotherapeutics.
