Cancer Constitution — A Classical Reading and the Critical Role of Oncology Care

Classical Chinese medicine recognises constitutional patterns that correlate with chronic disease risks including cancer. This does not mean classical medicine treats cancer — cancer management is the domain of specialist oncology care. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) provides supportive care for cancer patients alongside — never instead of — evidence-based oncology treatment.
