Considerations for tumor patients and their family members seeking TCM and combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment TCM can play a role during and after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but they need to understand the characteristics and advantages of TCM treatment. Chinese medicine treatment for tumor emphasizes evidence-based treatment, so we often use the term “evidence-based soup”, which refers to the Chinese medicine soup prescribed according to the patient’s symptoms and signs combined with the patient’s western medicine diagnosis (disease stage, previous treatment methods and means). It is a specific embodiment of individualized treatment and is a more targeted form of treatment. Therefore, we will recommend patients to take some Chinese herbal soup orally when they come to our department, which will have more significant clinical effect. Form: Chinese medicine treatment is not just oral, we will give oral, external application, soak, enema, acupuncture and other comprehensive treatment according to the patient’s condition. The advantages of Chinese medicine in treating tumor are: (1) Reduce post-operative complications and improve life treatment (such as weakness, poor performance, sweating, change of stool pattern of intestinal cancer, urgency, intestinal adhesion, etc.). (2) Reduction of toxicity during radiotherapy: blood picture decline, gastrointestinal reaction, etc. (3) Toxic side effects of targeted therapy: such as rash, diarrhea, mouth ulcers, etc. (4) Prolonging survival, delaying recurrence and metastasis after surgery, radiotherapy, etc. (5) Late stage or old age can not tolerate radiotherapy, Chinese medicine treatment to improve the quality of life and prolong survival. 3. Combination of Chinese and Western medicine, standardized treatment For some tumors that are relatively sensitive to Western medicine treatment, such as small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, etc., Chinese and Western medicine must be combined to treat them, and if they really cannot tolerate Western medicine treatment, then consider the comprehensive treatment of simple Chinese medicine. 4.Period of Chinese medicine treatment According to the proliferation characteristics of tumor, the time of oral Chinese medicine varies for different tumor patients, in general, such as gastrointestinal cancer, at least 3 years after surgery, the reason is that 50% of patients will have metastasis and recurrence in 2-3 years after surgery, therefore, we do suggest that patients must spend the peak period of metastasis and recurrence. In general, it requires reasonable diet (easy to digest, less spicy, more fruits and vegetables, moderate amount of meat) and appropriate exercise. The preliminary research of two national subjects led by me shows that the change of patients’ emotion directly affects the change of patients’ tumor condition, especially related to immune function. 6, tumor is a chronic disease, it is important to persist Tumor has been included in the management of chronic disease, and a large number of clinical cases have shown that as long as we have optimistic mood, persistent faith and standardized treatment, tumor treatment will definitely achieve good results.
