Malignant tumors and how to treat them

At present, no matter which kind of malignant tumor is emphasized on the comprehensive treatment including surgery, radiotherapy, biological immunity and Chinese medicine, which has become an indisputable consensus in the oncology field. However, there are some good and bad imaginations in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors, including some illegal medical practitioners, private hospitals and even some public hospitals. For example, there are some individuals or institutions who often play the slogan of ancestral Chinese medicine or unique treatment to confuse patients and their families, which often make many patients fall into the misunderstanding of treatment. First of all, let’s talk about Chinese medicine. At present, many individuals and even medical institutions often play the slogan of pure TCM for malignant tumors or combination of Chinese and Western medicine for malignant tumors to attract patients to seek medical treatment. Chinese medicine does have certain value in the treatment and recuperation of malignant tumors, but it must be combined with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in order to play its proper efficacy, so it is unrealistic to rely solely on Chinese medicine to treat malignant tumors! Of course, for patients who cannot tolerate radiotherapy or chemotherapy, they can be treated by TCM alone, which is not wrong, but if TCM is overemphasized, it may delay the treatment of patients. Secondly, the treatment in non-specialized hospitals. At present, many non-specialized oncology hospitals have oncology departments, therefore, a large number of patients must be seen in such hospitals, which is not a problem. However, the oncology departments of many non-specialized hospitals mainly carry out chemotherapy and biological therapy, etc., but the configuration of surgery and radiotherapy departments may not necessarily bring more benefits to patients. As far as surgery is concerned, the surgical requirements of malignant tumors are very high and technical experience are quite important, while surgical oncology is quite a challenge for general surgeons. In addition, many non-oncology specialty hospitals often do not have radiotherapy departments, and therefore, are very unfavorable for the comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors. The reason why this short article is written is not without reason. Because there are some patients who have already done a lot of treatment in many non-oncology specialty hospitals when they come to see us, including in some Chinese hospitals, and the treatment itself is beyond criticism, but for some patients there are often many deficiencies in treatment. As a doctor, I think we must be responsible for the patients, really think about the patients and seek the best treatment mode for them. If surgery is required, radiotherapy should be given, chemotherapy should be given, or surgery and radiotherapy should be combined, and Chinese medicine should be used appropriately in the whole treatment process to support and fight cancer, reduce toxicity and increase effectiveness, and truly establish the concept of comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors, and strictly fulfill this treatment model to truly bring benefits to patients. Therefore, if you are suffering from malignant tumor, you should first choose a tumor specialist hospital to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity, and the tumor specialist hospital often has strong surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and Chinese medicine treatment, and its treatment can often obtain more ideal treatment effect. We wish all patients can get the best treatment and get well soon!
