Abstract
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, and its incidence has been increasing in recent years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown unique advantages in supporting the treatment and management of thyroid cancer. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current literature on TCM-related interventions for thyroid cancer, covering theoretical foundations, epidemiological features, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic applications, clinical practices, technological progress, and existing challenges to summarize the clinical effectiveness of TCM, clarify its role in integrated treatment strategies, and outline future directions for research and clinical application.

The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas.
A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
