Patient: My father had radical gastric cancer surgery on April 2, 2009, the attending professor let my father go to the hospital for review after one month, and went to the hospital on May 24th to check the result that the body is recovering very well, but the attending professor let my father be hospitalized for chemotherapy, and other attending professors in the hospital gave the conclusion that my father’s condition can be treated without chemotherapy, and my family also hope that we don’t have to go to chemotherapy, because my father has been thin and weak, and now my family doesn’t know what to listen to! Which professor should we listen to? Eventually, the attending professor allowed my father not to take chemotherapy, but to take a drug called Xiloda, and I saw on the Internet can be cured without chemotherapy with traditional Chinese medicine, and then told my father’s attending professor, who replied that the conclusion is that the traditional Chinese medicine is a scam, and now my family is like a fly in the ointment, and do not know who to listen to good. Eagerly looking forward to see my father’s condition, give a clear answer, thank you!!!! Doctor: Please upload the patient’s postoperative pathology report. Patient: Why is there no pathology report after uploading it? Do you have an email address, Prof. Zheng? Can I send it to you directly? DOCTOR: I have read the pathology information you sent me. My suggestion is: 1. The pathology report of this patient is a T2 stage tumor. For patients with this stage, NCCN recommends chemotherapy for patients with the following risk factors: tumor hypofractionation or high histological grade, lymphovascular infiltration, neural infiltration, and age <50 years. Patients with moderately-lowly-differentiated cancer should still be treated with chemotherapy. 2. From a practical point of view, if the patient's physical condition is good (good appetite, can walk outside by himself), chemotherapy is necessary, and chemoradiotherapy (based on fluorouracil) should be given. 3.If the patient's physical condition is average (limited activity, but still able to take care of themselves), we can consider Xeloda single-agent chemotherapy. 4, if the patient's physical condition is not good (bedridden, life can not take care of themselves), then chemotherapy can not be done, you can take to support the positive and eliminate the evil Chinese medicine treatment. The professor who said that traditional Chinese medicine is cheating may be too narrow in his knowledge, or he doesn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, the treatment of tumor is a comprehensive treatment process, knowing the theoretical things, but also combining with the actual situation of the patient, in order to develop a specific treatment plan. I hope that you can compare what I said with the specific treatment for the disease. I hope it will help you. Patient: I am very grateful to Professor Zheng for his patient and detailed answers, for my father's current physical condition, and normal people do not have any difference, the amount of food is very good, activities freely, mental state is also good, that is, since young to the present body has been thin (weighing 52KG, height 170CM), the family is worried about the reaction of the chemotherapy is too large do not want to chemotherapy, I hope to be able to use other programs equivalent to the effect of chemotherapy treatment, so as not to let the patient so painful. I hope that we can use other programs equivalent to the effect of chemotherapy, so as not to let the patient so painful. On May 24th, my father went to the hospital for rechecking, and my family took his medical record to other authoritative oncology professors, who said that my father's disease was between chemotherapy and no chemotherapy, and his condition was relatively mild, so he could choose not to have chemotherapy, but the attending professors hoped that my father would be hospitalized in the hospital for chemotherapy and said that my father's condition was serious, and my family didn't know who to listen to, so I consulted with you in the hope that you would truthfully tell me if my father's condition was serious or not serious. I hope you can tell me honestly, Professor, whether my father's condition is serious or not? DOCTOR: There is a need for chemotherapy. The dose in the regimen has to be reduced.
