Academic Positioning and Treatment Standards of Oncology

I am an oncologist working in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in a western hospital. Based on my strong interest in the discipline of oncology, I have long been devoted to research and work in clinical oncology. In view of my academic background, medical working environment, academic support system, study interests and other various subjective and objective conditions, I am doubly concerned about the research of evidence-based medicine and traditional medicine in the field of oncology, especially in the field of medical oncology. Due to limited energy, he has gradually focused on drug treatment research of gastrointestinal tumors and non-small cell lung cancer in recent years. After years of clinical practice and witnessing the suffering of many patients, I deeply feel that an oncologist should position himself at the level of “trying his best to prolong the life of tumor patients and improve the quality of survival”, rather than limiting himself to a certain subspecialty, that is to say, the focus of attention is the disease rather than a certain skill, to quote Grandpa Deng’s words In other words, the focus is on the disease, not on a certain skill, to quote Grandpa Deng’s words, “No matter black cat or white cat, catching a mouse is a good cat”. This orientation requires physicians to continuously conduct interdisciplinary learning and training based on the oncology pyramid knowledge system, and even for oncologists in TCM, this is also the base, which is “based on the standardized guidelines of evidence-based medicine, with traditional medicine as the supplement”. Based on the above, as a TCM oncologist, I need to highlight two aspects, which represent my current academic position and treatment characteristics, and also to let patients who want to consult here to better find the right specialist for you. First of all, I am an oncologist who focuses on the best treatment of tumors worldwide, regardless of TCM and Western medicine, advocating evidence-based medicine (EBM) and following standardized guidelines; secondly, I am also an oncologist with TCM background and familiar with TCM, but definitely not a doctor who only uses or will only use TCM to treat tumors. part of comprehensive treatment (evidence needed), support and recommend the use of TCM where it is needed or available, and where what? First, where evidence-based medicine is not yet available or is insufficient; second, where BSC is needed or can only be observed; third, long-term maintenance therapy after standardized treatment, fourth, where improvement of tumor-related or unrelated symptoms is needed, and fifth, where surgery, radiotherapy, and targeted drugs cause adverse effects.
