Is it the case that Chinese medicine is chosen to regulate cancer when western medicine is ineffective in treating it? Many cancer patients often ask their doctors this question. Most cancer patients choose Western medical treatment, but in fact, Chinese medicine is also an important therapy. Western medical treatment for cancer is mainly radiotherapy and surgery. Radiotherapy not only kills cancer cells but also destroys normal cells, which has side effects, such as lowered white blood cells, nausea and vomiting, severe hair loss, inadequate liver and kidney function, etc., while surgery is also prone to many complications. Chinese medical treatment with Western medical treatment can complement the advantages of Chinese and Western medicine, which can achieve the effect of increasing efficiency, reducing toxicity and correcting defects, improving patients’ quality of life and prolonging survival with good long-term efficacy. So which cancer patients are suitable to choose TCM treatment and at what stage? TCM can intervene in every stage of cancer treatment. If the patient belongs to the early stage of cancer and the indicators are in line with the indications for surgery, then I absolutely recommend the patient to choose surgery, but after surgery, the patient needs to wait for 3-6 months for review, in order to avoid any change in the condition, at this time, choosing TCM intervention can prevent cancer recurrence, enhance immunity and achieve physiological balance in the body. For patients with advanced cancer who can no longer receive radiotherapy and surgery, TCM treatment can play a role in keeping the body in balance and not deteriorating further. The efficacy of TCM is stable and the treatment is based on dialectical evidence. “Most radiotherapy and chemotherapy methods in Western medicine for cancer treatment are cyclical, and the effect is accumulated from multiple cycles of treatment, and the patient’s body suffers great harm in the process, but TCM is relatively continuous and gradual in treatment, with more stable efficacy and less side effects”. This is not to say that TCM should replace Western medicine in treating cancer, but TCM is a dialectical treatment process. While cooperating with Western medicine, it focuses more on the whole body conditioning of cancer patients to prevent cancer cells from spreading and metastasizing, and to strengthen preventive treatment. She also reminded that stimulating febrile treatment (gua sha, tui na, acupuncture, etc.) is not suitable for tumor patients, and suggested patients to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine tablets.
