Features: This book comprehensively implements the integrated treatment approach of Chinese and Western medicine for malignant tumors, presenting a thorough introduction to the plans and methods of integrated Chinese and Western medicine for treating tumors. It was the first to propose the theory of "tumor transition-induced differentiation therapy." The book is divided into three parts and fifteen chapters. The first part comprehensively elaborates on the basic theories of tumors from both Chinese and Western medical perspectives and various treatment methods, introducing the treatment of cancer pain, the management of common complications of tumors, as well as nursing, conditioning, and rehabilitation for tumor patients. The second part specifically introduces the integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment for over 40 types of malignant tumors. The value of this book lies in the "Basic Treatment Plan" section added under each tumor disease entry, which, compared to other similar books, facilitates readers in reasonably applying various Chinese and Western medical treatments based on the specific condition of each tumor disease and patient. This helps address the blindness and singularity of clinical treatment methods, allowing for the full play of the strengths of Chinese and Western medical treatments, improving the efficacy of tumor treatment, extending patient survival, and enhancing quality of life. The Western medical treatments introduced in this part are mostly advanced or widely recognized, while the content on Chinese medicine fully reflects the academic views of the editor and widely collects the clinical experiences of other Chinese oncology experts, incorporating both inheritance and development. The third part introduces the new theories of malignant tumor treatment in recent years—holographic differentiation theory and induced differentiation theory—and for the first time proposes the "theory of tumor transition-induced differentiation." It also introduces transition-induced differentiation agents and their screening methods, listing some plant and animal-based transition-induced differentiation agents, marking a significant breakthrough in the treatment of malignant tumors. This book is both academically rigorous and highly practical, offering valuable insights and assistance for professionals in Western medicine, Chinese medicine, and integrated Chinese and Western oncology, as well as for grassroots physicians, and patients and their families with tumors.
