Sarcoma and cancer are both malignant tumors. Sarcoma originates from mesenchymal tissue and can occur in any tissue or organ, mostly in young people, with high malignancy and poor prognosis. At present, modern medical methods for treating sarcoma include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, radiofrequency, targeted therapy, etc. Surgery is the main treatment method, only a very few sarcomas such as rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing’s tumor and some osteosarcomas have better efficacy, but the rest of sarcomas are not satisfactory. The use of Chinese medicine with evidence-based treatment, together with zebrawood, has achieved more satisfactory results in the following aspects.
I. Prevention of postoperative recurrence and metastasis of sarcoma is effective
Post-operative sarcoma is very easy to recur, and lung, bone and liver metastases appear in late stage, and lymph node metastases may appear in some sarcomas, which are less used in post-operative sarcoma due to the poor effect of radiotherapy. Chinese medicine can significantly reduce the recurrence and metastasis of sarcoma after surgery by adding Zanthoxylum on the basis of identification and insisting on taking it for 2-3 years, and Chinese medicine plays an extremely important role in preventing recurrence and metastasis of sarcoma after surgery. For those who are prone to lung metastasis, add products that benefit qi and nourish yin to nourish lung; for those who are prone to liver metastasis, add medicines that nourish yin and nourish blood to soothe liver; for those who are prone to bone metastasis, add tonics to strengthen kidney and bone, and for those who are prone to lymph node metastasis, add gecko and toad skin.
Second, control and eliminate sarcoma with satisfactory effect
Due to the failure of timely treatment or improper treatment, sarcoma recurrence and metastasis occur. The appearance of recurrence and metastasis does not mean that the patient cannot be saved, if active measures are taken, some sarcomas disappear and most of them are stable. At this time, it is difficult to achieve results by purely tonifying phlegm and softening the firmness, so we should pay attention to “warming Yang”, “activating Blood”, “attacking poison with poison” and “facilitating the two bowels” on the basis of identification. “The treatment method should be based on the identification of the symptoms. The main medicine for treating sarcoma is Zanthoxylum, which has a strong killing effect on sarcoma. The identification is based on the identification of internal organs. For those located in the pleura, it is advisable to benefit qi, nourish yin and resolve phlegm and water; for those located in the liver, it is advisable to nourish yin and blood and tonify liver qi; for those located in the uterus and ovaries, it is advisable to nourish blood and regulate the flush and warm yang and resolve dampness; for those located in the bones of trunk and limbs, it is advisable to tonify kidney and strengthen spleen and bone; for those located in the stomach and intestines, it is advisable to strengthen spleen and stomach and resolve phlegm.
However, some sarcomas are not located in the internal organs, such as those in the retroperitoneum, mediastinum, pelvis, etc. In this case, there is no internal organ to be identified, so it is advisable to adopt the three jiao identification method. For example, in the case of endometrial sarcoma, it is advisable to nourish the blood, regulate the flushing and warm the yang and benefit the dampness, and it is only effective to add Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan and Zha Zhi Fu Ling Wan to Si Mu Tang. One point should be added that sarcoma originates from the middle lobe tissue during embryonic development and mostly occurs in young people, so the occurrence of sarcoma should be due to congenital deficiency, and the kidney should be nourished; congenital needs to be nourished later, and less spleen tonics are needed.
Third, it can improve some symptoms and quality of life
In the late stage of sarcoma, extensive metastasis occurs and the patient’s physical condition is poor, so it is important to improve symptoms and quality of life. The following is the treatment experience of several common symptoms of sarcoma for your reference.
1, sarcoma-induced bleeding, western medicine is ineffective, remove the internal organs of Chinese giant toads and roast them over charcoal fire.

Reduce the side effects of radiotherapy

Chinese medicine plays an important role in the treatment of sarcoma, and the following points must be mastered to achieve better results.
1, identification should be accurate: yin and yang is the general outline of identification, the first master sarcoma patients are yin or yang evidence, in order to master the treatment method.
2, treatment should be early: taking Chinese medicine as early as possible after sarcoma surgery can obviously reduce the chance of recurrence and metastasis, and treatment is also easier.
3, reasonable application of zebracho: zebracho plays a more important role in the treatment of sarcoma, but zebracho is highly toxic, so it should be taken with caution, under the guidance of experienced physicians, strictly master its serving method and dosage, and understand the side effects and their prevention. Here we should emphasize that the effect of using zebracho alone in the treatment of sarcoma is not very ideal, and it is necessary to add zebracho on the basis of identification to have better efficacy.
