ABSTRACT
The application of acupuncture and moxibustion in alleviating the adverse effects of chemotherapy drugs has been widely recognized at home and abroad, but the studies have been rarely summarized for the enhanced anti-tumor effect and its mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion to synergize the chemotherapy drugs. This paper reviewed the clinical and basic studies on the synergism of chemotherapy with acupuncture and moxibustion in recent years. It was found that chemotherapy synergized with acupuncture and moxibustion can suppress cancer to a certain extent and improve the quality of life in patients. The effect mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with chemotherapy drugs is related to promoting tumor cell apoptosis, improving the immune and vascular microenvironment, and advancing chemotherapy drug enrichment on the affected area. It provides the evidences and ideas for enhancing the effect of chemotherapy by delivering acupuncture and moxibustion as an adjuvant therapy.
