Resources on Chinese herbal treatments?

Page last modified on: October 2, 2008
Question from Peter: Can you recommend printed or online resources to learn more of Chinese herbal treatments and breast cancer?
Answer —Raymond Chang, M.D.: You have to be careful because there's a lot of marketing online. I don't know what is hype versus what is real. I don't know if there is anything that can be applied just to breast cancer. My institution, the Institute of East-West Medicine, does hold grants, including some from the Gray Charitable Trust. We have an online site, www.asiancancerherb.info. It is the most comprehensive collection of over 500 Asian cancer herbal material that you can click by name to get pictures, chemistry, application, research, studies, and references. There are articles and news releases. It's entirely unbiased, no sales. It's purely for research or to learn about them.

On Wednesday, September 21, 2005, our Ask-the-Expert Online Conference was called Traditional Chinese Medicine. Raymond Chang, M.D. and moderator Beth Baughman Dupree, M.D., F.A.C.S. answered your questions about how to discuss Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with your cancer doctor.

The materials presented in these conferences do not necessarily reflect the views of breastcancer.org. A qualified healthcare professional should be consulted before using any therapeutic product or regimen discussed. All readers should verify all information and data before employing any therapies described here.
