What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, is a broad system of medicine with ancient roots in China. It includes approaches such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, medicinal mushrooms, tai chi, qigong, food therapy, and other practices that are now used around the world.
For people with cancer, TCM often raises important questions: What therapies are most commonly used? What does the evidence suggest? How can these approaches fit safely alongside standard cancer care?
This free 5-day email series breaks down these questions in plain language, with a focus on evidence-informed guidance, safety, and practical next steps.
Each day, you’ll receive one short email focused on a different aspect of TCM, plus links to helpful CancerChoices resources if you’d like to explore more.

- What Traditional Chinese Medicine is and why people with cancer may be interested in it
- Acupuncture and related therapies, including acupressure, electroacupuncture, and moxibustion
