Abstract

Malignanttumors pose a serious threat to human life and health. Treating malignant tumors requires giving full play to the advantages of various treatment methods at different stages, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. As an important supplement to internal treatment, external treatment with traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages such as fewer adverse reactions, good tolerance, and faster onset of effect. Traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application therapy is one of the external treatments of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the dual effects of medicine and acupoint stimulation. Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, combined with drug administration at acupoints on meridians, traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application therapy has opened up a broader prospect for tumor treatment.
