Taiwanese Chinese medicine practitioners have participated heavily in cancer treatment, and with regular western medicine, they can improve treatment outcomes and reduce side effects. A series of large-scale studies in recent years have confirmed that Taiwan's combined treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine has sound effects on various cancers, including gastric cancer of the digestive organs, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, acute myelogenous leukemia of blood tumors, chronic lymphocytic leukemia; Women's breast cancer and men's prostate cancer and so on. These studies are all large-scale studies that have been followed for many years and have more than a thousand people. This article reviews the research on large-scale and long-term TCM treatment of cancer with the database of health insurance for clinicians' reference.
