“…14 The diameter of the mesenteric artery was widened, blood flow increased, and intestinal peristalsis was accelerated by thermal stimulation (41°C) from heat transfer control device at the umbilicus. 47 It was also found that after hot stupe application on the epigastrium (40°C), gastroenterogram showed that the electrical synergy between the stomach and intestine was enhanced, stimulating the electrical rhythm and effectively improving gastrointestinal peristalsis, 48 indicating that the generation of local thermal stimulation can regulate gastrointestinal function. However, the differences between heating and moxibustion, particularly their relative impacts on gastrointestinal function, require further investigation.…”

Cancer treatment remains a significant challenge for the medical community, and improved therapies are necessary to treat cancer and its associated complications. Current anticancer therapies often have significant side effects, underscoring the need for new treatment options. Moxibustion is a representative external therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine. This review examines clinical studies demonstrating moxibustion’s ability to improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and control tumor progression. Moxibustion can prevent and treat various complications of cancer, including cancer-related or therapy-induced gastrointestinal symptoms, myelosuppression, fatigue, pain, and postoperative lymphedema. has also been shown to enhance the quality of life for cancer patients. However, very few studies have investigated the underlying mechanisms for these effects, a topic that requires systematic elucidation. Evidence has shown that moxibustion alone or combined with chemotherapy can improve survival and inhibit tumor growth in cancer-bearing animal models. The anticancer effect of moxibustion is associated with alleviating the tumor immunosuppressive and vascular microenvironments. Additionally, the therapeutic effects of moxibustion may originate from the heat and radiation produced during the combustion process on acupoints or lesions. This evidence provides a scientific basis for the clinical application of moxibustion in anticancer treatment and reducing the side effects of cancer therapies and helps promote the precise application of moxibustion in cancer treatment.
