INTEGRATED APPROACH IN CANCER TREATMENT

We recognized that receiving integrated medical treatment is a better approach and it can improve survival rate and quality of life.

With the aim to get the best results for the patients, TCM Physicians Clinic has established international programs of integrated clinical oncology in cooperation and alliance with eminent doctors and world-class medical facilities. This allows us to provide the most advanced integrative cancer treatments with the highest quality and personalized health care tailored according to the patient's individual needs.

Clinical studies show that certain integrated cancer treatments with Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can optimize effectiveness and reduce the side effects of conventional therapies, enhance tumoral response, and improve the survival rates and quality of life in cancer patients, when compared to patients receiving only conventional medical care. However, this reality is commonly unknown or ignored in the West, and lots of patients do not benefit from treatments that can be crucial to achieve better results.

Besides providing health care, our mission is to educate people in preventing illnesses and recovering health. Today, it is very important to know as much as possible about evidence-based therapies available in this world. We encourage you to find out if there are any evidence-based treatments you can benefit from.
