Patients self-reported their current dietary habits, smoking, and alcohol use and recalled their habits prior to their cancer diagnosis. Responses were assessed using a Likert scale ranging from \u201cnever\u2009=\u20090\u201d to \u201coften\u2009=\u20093.\u201d The survey specifically measured the frequency of consuming red meat, seafood, milk, tofu, spicy foods, and \u201cbalanced yin-yang foods,\u201d as well as alcohol consumption and smoking.

Dietary changes included reduced intake of red meat, seafood, tofu, spicy foods, and milk, alongside increased adherence to a balanced yin-yang diet. Both Cultural\/TCM beliefs and symptom-related factors significantly shape those lifestyle behaviors. The influence of TCM was particularly notable. Patients with strong TCM beliefs were associated with reduced alcohol consumption and decreased intake of seafood, tofu, and milk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following a cancer diagnosis, Chinese patients made significantnotable changes to their smoking, alcohol consumption, and dietary habits; adopting healthier lifestyle behaviors.
