Compared with Western medicine, Chinese medicine has unique advantages in clinical application, and the standardized treatment means can bring into play the advantages of Chinese medicine in cancer treatment in alleviating tumor development, improving patients’ quality of life and prolonging survival time. However, many people do not know much about TCM for cancer treatment, so they often fall into the following five misconceptions: Misconception 1: TCM is only an adjuvant treatment. In the past, tumor patients who saw TCM often used the “corrective” effect of TCM to recover their body state after surgery or chemotherapy. Myth 2: I only recognize TCM because of fear of surgery or fear of side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Both of these methods oppose Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which is not conducive to the complete treatment of tumor. Misconception 3: Abuse of tonic medicine Many people think that tumor is mainly deficiency and low immunity, so they blindly adopt dietary and medicinal supplements, and the market is full of advertisements of health products to improve immunity, which mislead consumers and not only cause economic loss but also contribute to the recurrence of cancer. Misconception 4: Chinese and Western medicine confrontation Some Western doctors do not recognize the effect of Chinese medicine in treating tumors, and even reject Chinese medicine, causing many people to rely excessively on surgery and radiotherapy of Western medicine and give up Chinese medicine treatment. Some TCM doctors over-exaggerate the efficacy of TCM, which makes some cancer patients miss the treatment. Misconception 5: TCM is not Chinese Some TCM doctors are detached from the principle of evidence-based treatment and use the treatment model of Western medicine to rigidly apply TCM, and even detach from the principle of TCM formula when choosing Chinese medicine, and simply choose the Chinese medicine with anti-cancer effect to put together, which has lost the advantages of TCM. The advantage of TCM in treating cancer is that the effect of TCM in improving symptoms is different from other treatments in that after taking TCM, we can have a certain period of time to get improvement, and if the cancer itself is also improved by taking TCM, the symptoms can often be significantly relieved or even disappear, and there will not be any complications and will not affect the normal functioning of all parts of the body. Chinese medicine is especially important in prolonging life and relieving patients’ pain. Then what are the advantages of Chinese medicine for cancer treatment, Chinese medicine for cancer treatment and Chinese medicine for advanced cancer treatment. 1. It has a strong overall concept. Although tumor grows in a certain part of the body, it is actually a kind of systemic disease. For most tumor patients, local treatment cannot cure the problem, while TCM has an important role in improving patients’ local symptoms and systemic condition because it starts from a holistic concept and implements dialectical treatment, which not only considers local treatment but also takes the method of supporting and cultivating the root. 2.It can make up for the shortage of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgery can remove the cancer, but there are still residual cancer, or regional lymph node metastasis, or cancer clots in blood vessels, etc. Long-term treatment with TCM after surgery can prevent recurrence and metastasis; radiotherapy and chemotherapy have considerable side effects on the digestive tract and hematopoietic system, and treatment with TCM can not only reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also enhance the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, For patients with advanced cancer or those who cannot receive surgery and radiotherapy or chemotherapy, Chinese herbal medicine can be used for treatment. 3. It does not affect the labor force. While the local condition of cancer patients improves, the whole body condition also improves, and they can even be able to perform their daily work. 4. There are no side effects in terms of bone marrow suppression and no serious effects on the digestive tract. 5.It is economically cheap and convenient to take.
