Synopsis

Over the last twenty years, I've been exploring the integration of Chinese medicine into individualized programs of comprehensive care for cancer patients. Each year, at the Comprehensive Cancer Care Conference of the Centre for Mind-Body Medicine, we hear about the latest research on these therapies, in the West as well as in China. It is now clear to me and to many others in the field, that Chinese medicine can, and should, be available to everyone who is being treated for cancer. This new book, by Dr Stephen Sagar, makes this case in a way that is at once evidence-based, thoughtful and poetic. Dr Sagar is a radiation oncologist who deals every day with the challenges of cancer treatment, and with the accompanying side-effects of treatment. He is a fine clinical observer and an imaginative, indeed, visionary thinker. What he has done in this brief book is to describe precisely and well the world-view of the 4000-year-old Chinese medicine, and how its traditional approach to cancer treatment may dovetail with our most modern western scientific understanding and technological approaches.
