How to control cancer recurrence and metastasis in Chinese medicine

       1, first of all, start from adjusting the patient’s constitution. Because the physique is the root cause of the patient’s morbidity, adjusting the physique is the fundamental method to control recurrence and metastasis. People undergo various changes in their bodies during their lifetime due to various reasons, and various physiques appear. At present, people often classify a person’s constitution into qi deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency, phlegm and dampness, blood stasis, qi and yin deficiency, etc. Different types of constitution may cause various malignant tumors. Tumors will occur when further changes in physical constitution lead to imbalance of yin and yang in the body or dysfunction of internal organs or deficiency of qi and blood. Therefore, regardless of the treatment of tumor in any period, it is necessary to take into account the patient’s constitution, so that it is possible to better control the occurrence and development of tumor and control recurrence and metastasis.  2. Secondly, to control recurrence and metastasis, we should always insist on a reasonable combination of supporting positive and eliminating evil. The recurrence of supporting the righteous includes benefiting qi and nourishing blood, nourishing liver and kidney, etc. Modern medical research has long confirmed that the method of supporting the righteous can improve the immune function of the body, mobilize the body’s own anti-cancer factors, and fight cancer through its own factors. The methods of eliminating evil include clearing heat and detoxifying, dissolving phlegm and dispersing nodules, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, etc., which have been used by generations of TCM practitioners in fighting malignant tumor diseases.  3. Once again, always adhere to the treatment principle of evidence-based treatment. Regardless of the period, whether it is surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or before and after surgery, radiotherapy, we should adhere to the principle of discriminative treatment, without interference from the treatment methods of modern medicine; even if we have to cooperate with surgery, radiotherapy and other treatment methods, we still have to grasp the fundamental evidence of the patient to regulate the treatment.  In conclusion, the effect of Chinese medicine in controlling tumor recurrence and metastasis is very obvious, and there are various methods, such as acupuncture, medicine, moxibustion, fumigation, functional exercise, etc., which can be used according to the situation and will definitely achieve the ideal effect.
