External application of traditional Chinese medicine to tumors usually cannot make tumors disappear, and external application of traditional Chinese medicine only plays an auxiliary role in the treatment of tumors. The treatment of tumor should be combined according to its pathological results in order to reduce the possibility of tumor metastasis and recurrence to a certain extent. Chinese medicine plays a role in conditioning the patient’s body, but external application of Chinese medicine can not completely replace the standardized treatment of tumor. Tumors are generally divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Clinically, benign tumors are mainly treated by surgical resection, and if necessary, postoperative radiation therapy and other auxiliary treatments, which can usually be cured; malignant tumors can generally be treated by surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and so on, which need to be combined according to the patient’s personal situation under the guidance of the doctor, and it is difficult to make the tumors disappear completely by a single treatment. External application of traditional Chinese medicine can only play an auxiliary role in the treatment of tumors. It is suggested that patients should seek medical treatment in time, choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of doctors, and carry out the corresponding treatment under the guidance of doctors.
