Core Tip

Core Tip: The incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer (GC) rank third among all malignant tumors worldwide. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been increasingly applied in the clinical treatment of GC. The integrated TCM and the modern medicine can, to a certain extent, improve the therapeutic effects and reduce the adverse reactions caused by the modern medication in cancer treatment.
