At present, tumor patients mostly choose some kind of pCms to take orally after surgery, radiotherapy or during the period, and there are many kinds of anti-cancer pCms in the market, but we find that 70% of the prescriptions of pCms are issued by western doctors, while only 30% are issued by Chinese doctors. Moreover, TCM doctors are more cautious in using proprietary Chinese medicines, because the ingredients of proprietary Chinese medicines are mostly compounded by several Chinese herbs, and their treatment principles also follow the TCM evidence-based treatment, for example, the instruction of Ginseng Capsules mentions that the main function of the medicine is “to cultivate the original energy and strengthen the root, and to replenish the vital energy and blood. It can help improve the efficacy of primary lung cancer and liver cancer, improve the symptoms of Qi deficiency in tumor patients, and improve the immune function of the body. The terms of “cultivating the original energy, tonifying the qi and blood, and qi deficiency” are all unique terms in Chinese medicine, which are different from the Western medicine’s diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, for experienced TCM doctors, they would choose to use it in patients with obvious clinical deficiency of qi, such as those who are weak, poor in spirit and prone to sweating. Since many Western doctors do not pay attention to the “evidence” but only to the “disease” when using them, it brings some bad consequences, which not only brings economic losses to patients but also brings physical harm. Therefore, it is necessary to use pCms in a reasonable way to avoid side effects and to maximize the health protection for patients.
