Abstract:
Gastrointestinal symptom clusters are a commonly observed and distressing set of symptoms in pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies hold a unique advantage and prospective application in alleviating these symptom clusters caused by chemotherapy in pediatric cancer patients. This review seeks to offer insights into the understanding of gastrointestinal symptom clusters caused by chemotherapy from both Western and Chinese medical perspectives. Moreover, it summarizes the applications of Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies in managing these symptoms, discussing the shortcomings present in existing research and potential future directions.
