Abstract
Background: The greatest threats to the lives of cancer patients consist of both complications due to metastasis and the recurrence of original cancer. However, the existing forms of chemotherapy do not prevent these adverse events adequately because they suppress the patients¡¯ immune systems. A new methodology is required.
Aim: To provide further validation for cancer immunotherapy (involving the use of traditional oriental herbal medicine).
Method: Related articles, in both Korean and English were reviewed.
Results: Cancer immunotherapy involving the use of traditional oriental herbal medicine can create inhospitable conditions for cancer cells and strengthen patients¡¯ immunological functioning. These effects are a demonstration of the principles of "strengthening healthy qi (ݦïá)" and "eliminating pathogens (ËäÞ÷)". As a result, immunotherapy protects against metastasis and original cancer recurrence by preventing the growth of cancer cells. This is very similar to the concept of a cancer dormancy therapy.
Conclusion: It is strongly urged by the authors that more advanced studies be carried out on this promising therapy in the future in order to improve patients¡¯ quality of life and increase their survival time.
