Core Tip

Core Tip: In this letter, we highlight the article by Yin et al recently published in the World Journal of Clinical Cases (2024), which was focused on the benefits of Tongluo Jiedu as an adjuvant treatment for oral cancer. The study showed that this treatment improved immune function and reduced oxidative stress, thereby aiding recovery of the oral cancer patients. We emphasize the need for early intervention, multidisciplinary management, and the potential of integrating traditional Chinese medicine with conventional therapies.
