I did some research and found this in popular since magazine :
“Back in the 1970s, we thought if we found every cancer early, we might be able to cure it. Now we have a much more mature understanding,” says Len Lichtenfeld, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for the American Cancer Society. “Our technology has allowed us to find many different cancers than we would have in the past. And our understanding of what cancer is and how it behaves is also evolving.”
Cancer isn’t just one disease—it’s actually hundreds of diseases. And these diseases don’t have much in common, except that they are caused by a genetic mutation that throws the cells’ normal process of growing and dying gets out of whack.
I believe that still, we do not know much about cancers yes maybe we know what is the cause of cancers but not completely sure, still we do not know how to treat them all.
How does a TCM approach to cancer differ?
I believe In TCM, cancer is not seen as a disease but rather, an imbalance within the body that needs to be addressed, it also enhances the body’s immunity, increasing energy levels and improving the body’s ability to deal with the disease.
I agree with you, that TCM sees cancer as an imbalance within the body. Treatment is aimed to help our Qi, bring balance and nourish the body as it is fighting the disease.
