| Core Tip |
Cancer-related incomplete bowel obstruction remains a major challenge in palliative oncology. Wu et al demonstrate that bottle gourd moxibustion combined with umbilical therapy can enhance gastrointestinal recovery, reduce opioid dependence, and modulate inflammatory cytokines in patients with advanced malignancies. By integrating traditional Chinese medicine with modern oncology, this low-risk and holistic intervention may provide a potential strategy to improve symptom control and quality of life. These findings suggest that external therapies targeting inflammation and neuroimmune pathways may expand supportive care options in palliative cancer management. |
