Reasonable use of medicine can obviously improve clinical efficacy. Weak constitution should be supported by helping the righteous mainly, supplemented by dispelling the evil; better constitution should be supported by dispelling the evil mainly, supplemented by helping the righteous; general constitution should be supported by dispelling the evil with the same medicine. For the treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine, suitable western adjuvant treatment can still be chosen according to the patient’s needs, such as local radiotherapy for bone metastasis, endocrine therapy for breast cancer, biological therapy for kidney cancer, etc. The choice of any treatment or method should be based on the patient’s efficacy as the first consideration, and the treatment chosen should be the optimal method of Chinese and western medicine.
