Combined Western and Chinese medicine treatment for double primary cancer with tumor survival

In August 2011, the author received an elderly patient and learned from her medical history that she had undergone resection of left lung cancer in January 2010, which was a hypofractionated squamous cell carcinoma, and later she had several whole-body bone scans and found rib metastases. He was tested for hepatitis B virus minor triple positive. Western medical treatment: one hepatic artery cannulation chemoembolization (referred to as TACE), two Gamma Knives, and three percutaneous liver puncture fluorouracil implant intratumoral implantations were performed. The patient has been taking Chinese herbal medicine treatment: Dangfei Lihenianing Capsules + Hepatofluro Capsules + herbal medicine (the author prescribed the prescription based on the information from the four consultations of the patient). At follow-up, the patient is still alive and the intrahepatic cancer mass shrunk to 7.5 cm. Analysis] The patient’s double primary cancer: lung cancer recurred after surgery with rib metastasis, liver cancer mass was huge, after treatment, lung cancer was stable without other metastases; liver cancer shrunk by nearly half, the patient survived about four years and is still alive, which belongs to survival with tumor. For cancer treatment, long-term survival with tumor is also an important treatment goal when complete cure is difficult. In order to achieve this goal, we should pay attention to the following: firstly, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine directly kills cancer cells, but has great side effects, while Chinese medicine can reduce the side effects of Western medicine and promote rapid recovery of the body, and Chinese medicine can also regulate the whole body and improve the human soil, so that cancer cells are less likely to metastasize; some Chinese medicines can also enhance the immunity of the body and indirectly control cancer cells; secondly, we should insist on taking medicine. The patient is optimistic and is fully aware of the disease and its seriousness; fourth, a good family and social environment is needed, the patient’s children are very filial and actively cooperate in the treatment.
