There exist some problems in the present cancer treatment, such as: (1) prevalence of excessive treatment; (2) lack of long-term research plan; (3) lack of reasonable comprehensive treatment; (4) lack of operative individualized treatment; (5) the superiority of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was undervalued and underused. Integrative medicine should play an important role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Further research should be carried out in the following aspects: (1) enrich and improve the theoretical knowledge of TCM on cancer; (2) enhance the research on rationalization and standardization of cancer treatment program of integrative medicine; (3) enhance the research on criterion of therapeutical effect of integrative medicine in treating cancer; (4) enhance the research on prevention and treatment of postoperative recurrence and metastasis of cancer by integrative medicine.
