Artemisinin is ineffective in treating advanced cancer, which can be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted and immunotherapy; artemisinin is mainly used to treat malaria. The treatment measures for advanced cancer usually focus on radiotherapy and chemotherapy; if radiotherapy and chemotherapy are effective in shrinking the tumor, surgical resection is feasible. For example, advanced breast cancer can be treated with chemotherapy involving cisplatin and other chemotherapeutic drugs to achieve the purpose of slowing down the deterioration of the disease. In some patients, targeted or immunotherapeutic drugs can also be used. There is no clinical evidence to support that artemisinin is effective in the treatment of advanced cancer. Artemisinin is mainly used for the treatment of falciparum malaria, but it should be noted that artemisinin should be used with caution in patients with hepatic or renal insufficiency; it is prohibited to use it in patients who are allergic to the ingredients of the drug. The above drugs need to be used under the guidance of clinicians, prohibit unauthorized use of drugs. If malaria or tumor is suspected, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
