In terms of rapid elimination of esophageal cancer masses, TCM treatment is inferior to surgery as well as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Although TCM is not as effective as Western medicine in rapid elimination and control of tumor development, TCM has significant advantages in the treatment of chronic esophageal cancer patients, such as the control of tumor development, TCM has a slow and long-lasting effect, and has no significant liver or kidney toxicity and does not affect the blood picture. For patients with esophageal cancer that is completely blocked and unable to eat, stents need to be placed or surgically removed, but for patients who can still eat semi-liquid food but are prone to vomiting, TCM treatment can improve dysphagia more quickly after dialectic treatment, for example, using Xiao Qing Long Tang, removing Ephedra, adding Fengshui, and then adding Weilingxian.
