Cervical Cancer + Chinese Medicine

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in the United State. According to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC), more than 14,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer annually.  

Chinese Medicine has been found to offer relief to people experiencing side effects of cancer treatment.  Some of the most common side effects of cancer treatment are fatigue, nausea, pain, and loss of appetite. 

Acupuncture, cupping, and gua sha are treatments within Chinese Medicine that have been found to provide relief of many of these side effects that occur during cancer treatments. 

In the study “A pilot study of acupuncture at pain acupoints for cervical cancer pain”, published in 2018, Acupuncture on “pain acupoints” was found to be efficacious in patients with Cervical Cancer Pain after 14-day treatment.

One common side effect of Cervical Cancer Surgery is Urinary Retention.  Both herbal and acupuncture approaches have proven to be beneficial to ease this symptom.

The study “Effect Observation on Modified Zishen Tongguan Decoction Combined with Acupuncture in Treatment of Urinary Retention after Cervical Cancer Surgery and Its Influence on the Incidence of Adverse Reactions”, published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Journal, in October 2021; found that “Modified Zishen Tongguan decoction combined with acupuncture is a reliable method to treat urinary retention after cervical cancer surgery, which greatly improves the urination function of patients, as well as the clinical efficacy.”

In the following study published in the Journal of Tongji Medical University in 1991, Dialectic classification of syndrome diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine used as new criterion for evaluating prognosis of patients with cervical cancer, Cervical Cancer disease was classified into 4 types. These 4 types were based on various symptoms, tongue diagnosis, and pulse diagnosis:

  1. deficiency of liver-yin and kidney-yin
  2. deficiency of splenic qi
  3. internal retention of damp-heat
  4. stagnation of qi and blood or stagnation of liver qi

“The survival rate of the various types was quite different. The patients of type 4 had the worst prognosis. The prognosis of patients with type 1 was significantly better than that of patients with type 4. The difference was of statistical significance (P less than 0.01).”
