The rehabilitation of cancer is a crucial stage in the path of cancer survivors, holistic ways of healing are becoming more widely acknowledged as medical innovations have improved results of cancer treatment and survival rates. Due to its ability to improve the rehabilitation process for cancer survivors, Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) stands out as a compelling choice among the excess of complementary therapies that have arisen. Tai Chi Chuan, an ancient Chinese martial art that blends slow, flowing motions with deep breathing and meditation, has attracted interest as a potentially transforming alternative therapy for cancer survivors. It is accessible to people of all fitness levels, making it an appealing alternative for those recuperating from the physical toll of cancer and its therapies. Biomarkers provide a window into the complicated mechanisms at work during recovery by giving quantitative data on physiological changes of cancer survivors. It could be the objectively determined biological indicators, and they have enormous potential in analyzing the influence of TCC on the recovery path. The aim of this essay is to explain the function of biomarkers in assessing the efficiency of TCC as a rehabilitation aid for cancer survivors and to critically examine existing studies on this subject. Finally, we found biomarkers have a critical role in improving the precision of evaluations in cancer rehabilitation. These biological markers provide objectivity, allowing healthcare providers to track patients' progress and customize interventions to address treatment-related problems as soon as possible. TCC shows the benefit to emotional health and may lessen the symptoms of mental health illnesses.
