The Role of Chinese Medicine as a Complementary Therapy in the Management of Obesity‐Associated Colorectal Cancer
Complementary CM approaches may be beneficial in the management of obesity-related CRC. The diverse range of pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments offers several pathways for safe and effective treatment and has the potential to be used in the management of obesity-related CRC and its comorbidities. In addition, combining CM with conventional oncological methods could benefit patients and improve their quality of life during and/or after treatment. Therefore, we hope that these findings may be applied to the long-term therapy of obesity-related CRC and other cancers.
