摘要

A Chinese medicine (CM) approach

designed based on the clinical experiences of the West Los Angeles Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine

is a practical path for assessing and treating breast cancer survivors. The approach consists of balancing the body with deciphering the cause of the patient’s chief complaints by assessing and recognizing the six physiological dysfunctions that include gastrointestinal problems

sleeps problems

emotional imbalance

low body energy

menstrual change and pain. Multifaceted interventions are used for eliminating various CM pathologies based on identifying the basic CM patterns (syndromes) differentiation. Watching to assess the above two situations dynamically is used for outcome evaluation and predicting prognosis. Therefore this approach is called BMW. It can serve as a reference for CM clinical practice and integrative clinical care. It also can be used to simplify the clinical interpretation of CM and provide an easier way for CM doctors to communicate with Western medical doctors and patients. Additionally

it can be used as a guide for patients to assess their own symptoms for self-monitoring and self-care.
