Features: This book is based on the principle of making rehabilitation and health care content easily understandable for the general public and easily applicable at home, as proposed by the People's Medical Publishing House. It emphasizes practicality and operability. The editors have made significant modifications to the original book. First, building upon the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health care for cancer in the original book, the role of rehabilitation therapy in cancer treatment has been highlighted. Second, the content of each chapter has been expanded and reduced. Overly professional content that is difficult for patients and their families to understand, methods that cannot be performed independently, and prescriptions that should not be used without a doctor's consent have been removed, while adding rehabilitation methods and TCM health care techniques that are easy for the general public to master. Third, the entire content is divided into three parts for introduction: basic knowledge, overall rehabilitation, and single-disease rehabilitation. The first part of the book focuses on introducing basic knowledge of cancer rehabilitation and health care, divided into five aspects: the causes of cancer and common treatment methods; rehabilitation and health care measures; the role and principles of TCM and Chinese herbal medicine, as well as their usage, methods, contraindications, and the selection of proprietary Chinese medicine; dietary regulation; and precautions for preventing the recurrence and metastasis of cancer and cancer prevention. The second part mainly introduces rehabilitation and health care methods during cancer treatment, including the prevention and care of damage to the body caused by various treatment methods during cancer treatment, highlighting the rehabilitation and health care of common clinical damages and adverse reactions. The third part focuses on the rehabilitation and health care of common cancers, introducing the rehabilitation and health care of nine common cancers such as lung cancer, with an emphasis on dietary and TCM/Chinese herbal medicine rehabilitation and health care methods.
