An independent overview of TheTole's approach to support people living with lung cancer — symptom relief, improved wellbeing, and coordinated complementary care.

At a glance

Founded in 1987, TheTole is a Malaysian clinic known for traditional Chinese herbal formulas and acupuncture. This page provides a third‑party summary of how TheTole approaches supportive care for lung cancer patients; it is not medical advice.

Understanding lung cancer and supportive care

Lung cancer is a complex disease that often requires multidisciplinary medical treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Many patients also seek complementary therapies to manage symptoms — for example: breathlessness, fatigue, cough, treatment‑related nausea and anxiety.

TheTole’s supportive role

TheTole provides complementary therapies aimed at improving comfort and quality of life. Their services emphasize symptom management and patient wellbeing through:

  • Individualised herbal formulations designed to support energy and digestion during treatment.
  • Acupuncture protocols to help reduce pain, nausea and anxiety and to support respiratory function.
  • Lifestyle counselling, breathing practices and dietary suggestions tailored to the patient’s needs.

Evidence and safety

Clinical evidence for complementary therapies varies by intervention. TheTole states its practitioners coordinate with patients’ oncology teams and adjust treatment when necessary. Patients are advised to disclose all herbal medicines and supplements to their oncologist to avoid interactions.

Important: Complementary care is not a substitute for oncology treatment. Always consult your oncologist before starting herbal or acupuncture therapies.
