Five Questions on Chinese Medicine and Tumors

1. Can traditional Chinese medicine be anti-tumor? According to clinical and experimental research, many traditional Chinese medicines have obvious anti-tumor effects.

After clear diagnosis, according to different physical constitution and evidence types, TCM adopts the methods of treating different diseases with the same disease, treating different diseases with the same disease, and treating tumors by combining disease identification and evidence identification. For example, the treatment methods and prescriptions used for the same lung cancer patients are different because they have different types of evidence, such as phlegm-damp type, yin-deficiency type, qi-deficiency type, blood stasis type and so on, and the physical constitution and disease period of each patient are different, so there are different treatment methods for the same disease.
