Advancing oral cancer care: Insights from Tongluo Jiedu prescription

Chun-Yao Cheng et al. World J Clin Cases. .

Abstract

This editorial highlights the study which investigated the potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as an adjunctive therapy in oral cancer management. The study included 80 patients with oral cancer to evaluate the effects of the Tongluo Jiedu prescription on inflammatory stress markers, peripheral blood T-cell subsets, and overall immune function. The results indicated that Tongluo Jiedu substantially enhances immune function and reduces oxidative stress, thereby aiding in patient recovery and potentially minimizing treatment-related complications. This editorial discusses the broader implications of these findings for oral cancer care and emphasizes the importance of integrating TCM principles into modern oncology practices.

Keywords: Adjunctive therapy; Immune function; Oral cancer patients; Oxidative stress; Tongluo Jiedu prescription; Traditional Chinese medicine.
