Abstract:
Maili moxibustion can alleviate cancer pain, reduce bone marrow suppression, alleviate gastrointestinal reaction of chemotherapeutic drugs, alleviate cancer-related fatigue, inhibit neurotoxic reaction, improve quality of life and prolong patients' survival. It plays therapeutic effects by regulating immunity, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and regulating tumor microenvironment. The researches of Maili moxibustion for tumor focus on reducing the toxic or side effects of radiotherapy or chemotherapy. In the future, we should continue to study the combination of Maili moxibustion and other therapies on the treatment of tumor.
