The importance and requirement of evidence‐based medicine to expand the use of Kampo medicine

Abstract

Cancer treatment is one of the major projects in the world due to the highest number of deaths. In recent years, chemotherapy, surgical treatment, radiation and immune checkpoint therapy have been used for the treatment of cancer patients. In association with these treatments, the number of cancer survivors has also increased. On the other hand, the number of patients suffering from side effects of cancer treatment is increasing, and the importance of cancer supportive care is being emphasized.
