ABSTRACT
Modern cancer therapy emphasizes integrative treatments. With the transformation of the medical model from biomedical model to biopsychosocial medical model, cancer therapy is no longer a single treatment for diseases but is the best mode that stresses participation of a variety of means and disciplines and is people-oriented. The common superficial tumors are lymph node metastases, thoracic and abdominal wall metastatic carcinoma, breast cancer, vulvar cancer, malignant melanoma, and so on. As intracranial cancer hyperthermia may increase the risk of cerebral edema, some therapeutic measures for reducing cerebral edema and intracranial pressure need to be taken before treatment of patients accompanied with cerebral edema or high cranial pressure. The syndrome of phlegm dampness and stasis is commonly seen in brain cancer patients. Intracranial cancer hyperthermia is mainly local hyperthermia. Oral cancer is a general term for malignant tumors occurring in the oral cavity. Most oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.
