Study maps maturation of Traditional Chinese Medicine as radiotherapy adjuvant

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper analyzes 69,745 publications from 2000-2025 on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an adjuvant to radiotherapy. The research reveals a cyclical evolution in the field, characterized by periods of expansion and contraction in research output, international collaboration, and funding. Five dominant thematic axes—cancer types, supportive care, clinical endpoints, mechanisms, and methodology—indicate a focus on patient well-being and scientific rigor. The study suggests the field has matured its current research agenda and may be on the verge of new developments, while also noting a consistent positive reporting bias. AI
