Can cancer be diagnosed by traditional Chinese medicine?

Cancer can not be diagnosed accurately only by pulse diagnosis.

Cancer is a complex disease. Its occurrence and development involve many aspects, including cell mutation, gene abnormality, histological changes, etc. It is difficult to catch these complex pathological changes comprehensively and accurately by pulse diagnosis alone. Pulse diagnosis is mainly to infer the body's qi and blood, zang-fu functions and other conditions by sensing the changes of pulse conditions, but it is difficult to accurately judge the microscopic level of cancer.

The diagnosis of cancer requires a combination of examination methods, such as imaging examination.(such as CT, MRI, etc.), pathological examination, etc. Imaging examination can visually show the location, size, shape, etc. of the tumor, pathological examination is the" gold standard" for the diagnosis of cancer, which can clarify the nature and characteristics of cells. These modern examination methods are irreplaceable for the diagnosis of cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of cancer, but more in the overall conditioning, improving symptoms, improving quality of life and so on.
