Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Multidisciplinary collaboration opens up a better anti-cancer model

Recently, the "8th 'CSCO-South' Tumor Biological Therapy and Molecular Targeted Therapy" was jointly sponsored by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), the Guangdong Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the Guangzhou Anti-Cancer Association. The Forum and the 13th National Seminar on New Progress in Comprehensive Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment" and the "3rd Annual Academic Conference of the Guangdong Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" were held simultaneously in Guangzhou.

More than 1,000 experts and scholars from the domestic and foreign medical circles attended this academic event, including Chen Keji, Chen Kaixian, and Yao Kaitai, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Professor Luo Rongcheng, director of the Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine at Nanjing Medical University. Oncology experts from all over the country focused on the conference theme of "Tumor Biotherapy and Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" and gave speeches from various aspects such as tumor biotherapy and molecular targeted therapy, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for tumors, tumor molecular diagnosis and clinical research.

Individualized anti-cancer requires MDT and the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine

Yao Kaitai, a famous oncologist in my country and academician of Southern Medical University, pointed out at the meeting that with the deepening of the molecular mechanism of tumor development, Breakthroughs in research and biotechnology, biotherapy, especially personalized targeted immunotherapy, have become the fourth mode in comprehensive tumor treatment and are receiving more and more attention. In 2013, the American "Science" magazine listed immune cell therapy as one of six major breakthroughs, making it the most eye-catching and inspiring focus in the current treatment of tumors.

Professor Luo Rongcheng, head of the national key clinical oncology department and director of the Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine at Nanjing Medical University, said that with the development of medicine, the limitations of traditional single-disciplinary cancer diagnosis and treatment have become more and more apparent, so a multi-disciplinary The "MDT diagnosis and treatment model" of comprehensive treatment of tumors through subject collaboration has been developed in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. In the United States, in the updated tumor diagnosis and treatment guidelines of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), MDT has become the first choice for most tumor treatment models; relevant laws in the UK even stipulate that the treatment of certain malignant tumor diseases must be based on MDT clinical decision-making. The MDT model of tumor treatment has become an inevitable trend in the development of modern medicine.

In China, "Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" is also a type of multidisciplinary association. Professor Wu Weikang, Vice President of the Chinese Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and Director of the Institute of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine at Sun Yat-sen University In an interview, he pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine have always been serving the health of the Chinese people. The fundamental purpose of the two is the same. The treatment method of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine is to harmoniously integrate traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, which is also in line with "paying equal attention to both Chinese and Western medicine. Promoting the integration of Chinese and Western concepts.

Clinical practice has proven that MDT with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine has better efficacy

Academician Chen Keji, honorary president of Southern Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (Southern Medical University Cancer Center) and honorary president of the Chinese Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine The conference report pointed out that the concepts and methods of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment have made great progress. The syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine can not only supplement and enhance the treatment of western medicine, but also serve as an important part of the comprehensive treatment of tumors. While giving full play to the role of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biological immunotherapy, we should continue to explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat tumors is a brand-new concept and model of tumor treatment and rehabilitation, which can continuously improve patients' treatment effects and quality of life.

The holding of this conference will help promote the promotion of new concepts and new models such as multidisciplinary comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of tumors, and will help promote the progress of basic and clinical research on the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of tumors. It will further Improving the level of cancer prevention and treatment in my country and developing the "Chinese MDT model" of multidisciplinary collaborative comprehensive treatment of tumors that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine will benefit both patients and doctors.
