Purpose:
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has recently attracted increasing interests in cancer treatment. It was found that TCM-based treatment, combined with other therapies, can help improve patients' life quality. However, the existing research in TCM lacks a systematic modelling for the causal relationship of the factors related to the diagnosis and decision making.
Methods:
In this paper, we proposed the use of fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) to represent the cognition of TCMs usage in cancer treatment.
Results:
Through a case analysis, we analyse and summarise the effects of Chinese herbal medicine in breast cancer management.
Conclusion:
FCMs can visually represent the cognitive knowledge, particularly the causal relationship among key factors of TCM effects and the related breast cancer status.
