Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study presents Korean medicine clinical practice guidelines for bladder cancer, of which the 5-year survival rate has still been about 75% since the 1990s despite the rapid development of medical science.
Methods: A consensus was reached by an expert committee composed of professors and researchers who specialize in Korean medicine on the basis of a literature review that included other countries' clinical guidelines and a textbook.
Results: Traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice guidelines were published for the first time in 2014. In Korea, the medical system is different from China in that Korea has completely dualized Korean and Western medicine and a low availability of proprietary herbal medicines. Therefore, these Korean medicine clinical practice guidelines for treating bladder cancer based on the previously published guidelines of Chinese medicine will help first-line Korean medicine doctors.
Conclusions: Further studies related to Korean medicine are necessary to develop more advanced Korean medicine clinical practice guidelines for treating bladder cancer.
