About Cancer Immunotherapy & Integrative Medicine
At the Arthritis and Pain Treatment Center, Dr. Rui Wang is delivering world-class 7th generation medical acupuncture to support cancer immunotherapy in Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Binghamton, NY. Immunotherapy can cause side effects. Many side effects happen when the immune system that is revved-up to act against the cancer also acts against healthy cells and tissues in the body. Some side effects are common with all types of immunotherapy. For instance, you might have skin reactions at the needle site, which include: pain, swelling, soreness, redness, itchiness, rash. You may have flu-like symptoms, which include: fever, chills, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, muscle or joint aches, fatigue, headache, trouble breathing, low or high blood pressure. Other side effects might include: swelling and weight gain from retaining fluid, heart palpitations, sinus congestion, diarrhea, infection, organ inflammation. Some types of immunotherapy may cause severe or fatal allergic and inflammation-related reactions. But, these reactions are rare (NCI).
Integrative medicine in the era of cancer immunotherapy: Challenges and opportunities Ning Zhang, Xiao-He Xiao. J Integr Med. 2021 Jul;19(4):291-294. Cancer immunotherapy has led to a new era of cancer treatment strategies, and transforming healthcare for cancer patients. Meanwhile, reports of immune-related adverse events have been increasing, greatly hindering the use of cancer immunotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has been widely used in Asian countries for thousands of years, is known to play a complementary role in the treatment of cancer. Taken in combined with conventional modern therapies, such as resection, ablation and radiotherapy, TCM exerts its main anti-cancer effects in two ways: health-strengthening (Fu-Zheng) and pathogen-eliminating (Qu-Xie). Theoretically, pathogen-eliminating TCM can promote the release of tumor-related antigens and should be able to increase the effect of immunotherapy, while health-strengthening TCM may have immune-enhancing mechanisms that overlap with immunotherapy. In the era of cancer immunotherapy, it is important to balance the use of TCM and immunotherapy, with the goal of enhancing immune efficacy and antagonizing immune toxicity. In this article, we discuss this issue by considering the mechanism of tumor immunotherapy, alongside the theoretical basis of TCM treatment of tumors, with the aim of bringing new insights to future research in this field.
