TCM and Integrative Oncology in Shanghai: 2026 International Patient Guide

Evidence-Based TCM Oncology in Shanghai

Shanghai is a global center for evidence-based integrative oncology. Longhua Hospital (龙华医院), affiliated to Shanghai University of TCM, is China's top TCM oncology hospital. Their 'Fuzheng Peiben' (扶正培本 / support the righteous, consolidate the root) approach has been validated in randomized trials showing 27% reduction in recurrence rates for certain cancers.

Top Centers

Longhua Hospital — China's #1 TCM oncology; Prof. Liu Lingshuang (刘苓霜), 2026 Shanghai Medical Craftsman award; integrative lung cancer protocols.

Yueyang Hospital — Integrated Chinese-Western medicine; HIPEC for gastric cancer (Prof. Gu Qunhao); whole-person management.

Shanghai Municipal Hospital of TCM — Integrative colorectal and other cancers.

Shuguang Hospital — TCM oncology and liver disease.

What TCM Can Help With (Evidence-Based)

Chemotherapy side effects: Acupuncture for nausea/vomiting, fatigue; herbal formulas for bone marrow suppression.

Post-surgical recovery: Herbal formulas to speed wound healing and restore appetite.

Immune modulation: 'Fuzheng' herbs (Astragalus/黄芪, Lingzhi/灵芝) used as adjuncts during chemo/immunotherapy (note: must be coordinated with oncologist to avoid interactions).

Long-term survivorship: Reduce recurrence risk in selected cancers (Longhua's lung cancer data).

Quality of life: Pain, sleep, anxiety management.

Important Safety Note

TCM should never replace standard cancer treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation, immunotherapy). It is used as an adjunct. Always disclose all herbal products to your Western oncologist, as some herbs can interact with chemotherapy, anticoagulants, or immunotherapy. MedBridge coordinates joint Longhua + FUSCC/Zhongshan consultations.
