Oncology (Cancer)

1) Brief History

Cancer has been steadily on the rise over the years and poses as one of the main challenges in modern medicine. Our oncology special clinic has been established for over 30 years and has gained significant amount of experience in providing complementary TCM services for oncology patients. TCM services are provided on the basis of formulating individualized herbal decoctions according to patient’s TCM syndrome classifications.
