Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the common nasty tumors that seriously endanger women's health problems. Its incidence and mortality rate rank first among female malignant tumors in the world. At the same time, the prevalence and mortality rate of women in China remain high, and it shows a trend of younger age. With the acceleration of social rhythm, irregular diet, increasing pressure and other reasons, the incidence of breast cancer in women is increasing year by year. Currently, the treatment of breast cancer usually includes surgery, chemoradiotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted drugs, etc. Although these combined therapies are effective in reducing the mortality rate of breast cancer, the side effects on the patients’ body are still large. Most of the previous studies focused on the perspective of western medicine, but this paper analyzed the theory, cognition and the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine on breast cancer from the perspective of Chinese medicine. The results of this study show that traditional Chinese medicine treatment of breast cancer and prognosis have good performance, especially in alleviating complications and alleviating the side effects of chemoradiation.
