Seeking Chinese medicine and taking tonics when you have a tumor! I am afraid this is the choice made by many cancer patients or their families today. Many people benefit from it, but many are also confused. Can TCM treat tumors? Can any TCM doctor prescribe to cure tumor as long as he/she is a TCM doctor? When should I see a TCM doctor and take Chinese medicine? In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) included tumor diseases in the category of chronic diseases. Chinese medicine is more willing to treat tumor as a chronic disease for maintenance and consolidation. Traditional Chinese medicine plays different roles in different stages of tumor treatment. At present, the advantages of scientifically verified TCM for tumor treatment are mainly reflected in the following aspects: Firstly, after surgery, patients’ bodies are damaged and most of them show deficiency of both qi and blood, using TCM can replenish qi and blood, and at the same time can alleviate surgical complications and complications, so that patients’ bodies can recover relatively well. Secondly, it can reduce the recurrence and metastasis of tumor. Third, it can reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Fourthly, for some patients with advanced stage or lesions unsuitable for surgery and radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the main purpose of taking TCM is to control tumor growth, improve quality of life and prolong survival time. It should be noted that it is not scientific to simply hope to treat or even cure tumors with TCM. Proper integrated treatment with Chinese and Western medicine is the best choice for tumor treatment, and TCM should stand in the position of adjuvant treatment and reflect its characteristics of maintenance and consolidation treatment. Therefore, we suggest that once diagnosed with cancer, it is very important to choose the right treatment measures. The general principle is to operate if you can, and then follow with radiotherapy and chemotherapy as appropriate according to your condition, and then combine with TCM for maintenance and consolidation treatment during the treatment process; if you cannot operate, or if the radiotherapy or chemotherapy regimen has no obvious effect, you can also choose TCM for maintenance treatment. Chinese medicine not only can reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also can continue to control the growth of tumor, so that the tumor can be suppressed, achieve survival with tumor and improve the quality of life especially in the case that the tumor cannot be eliminated, radiotherapy and chemotherapy reach a certain stage and the tumor is stable, according to the patient’s condition, choose to use Chinese medicine to extend the survival time with tumor and achieve better control purpose. There are many ways to treat tumor with TCM, but the most applied is still tonics. Chinese medicine regards human being as an organic whole, the reasons for cancer are different for each person, and even the same disease may have different causes. Each person’s physical condition and treatment effect are also different, so it is necessary to identify and use medicine according to each person’s different symptoms to achieve different effects. Therefore, the method that can maximize individualized treatment is to take tonics. If someone or any hospital guarantees that it can cure tumor, this person and this hospital are too unobjective. Because up to now, tumor is still a disease that has not been completely conquered in the world, no one can guarantee that it can be cured. I would like to caution you that human life is irreducible, and it is too bad if you lose your life because of improper treatment, so I hope you will not try it easily. You have to believe that the best solution is the summary of doctors and millions of people’s trials. Therefore, when you have a tumor and want to choose Chinese medicine treatment, you must go to a regular hospital and get a comprehensive treatment to get satisfactory results.
