Chinese medicine has its own unique advantages in the treatment of liver cancer, which is applied throughout the whole process of liver cancer treatment. According to the theory of TCM, deficiency and external evil are important causes and pathogenic mechanisms for the development of tumor. Insufficient positive energy and weakness of qi and blood lead to dysfunction of internal organs, or a series of pathological changes such as imbalance of yin and yang and dysfunction of internal organs caused by long-term unclean diet, emotional and mental disorders and excessive strain, which eventually form tumor. Advantages of TCM in treating liver cancer: 1. Minimize complications. Hypersplenism is the most serious complication of most liver cancer patients, which can cause abnormal hematopoietic mechanism and coagulation dysfunction, coupled with portal hypertension, resulting in high varicose veins in the fundus of the stomach, which can easily cause gastrointestinal haemorrhage. The abnormal liver function may also lead to insufficient protein synthesis, low protein and large amount of ascites. Tumor compression also leads to bile excretion disorder, causing jaundice and so on. Treatment with Chinese medicine can reduce AFP, normalize liver function, increase phagocytes, T cells and tumor necrosis factor, promote the increase of patient’s diet, eliminate ascites and jaundice, and control the continued growth of tumor by using the characteristics of Chinese medicine such as strengthening spleen and Qi, clearing heat and detoxifying, and softening and dispersing. Relieve symptoms and relieve patients’ pain. 2.Maximum protection of liver function. The liver is the largest digestive gland in the body, and its task is quite arduous, participating in various digestive metabolism and absorption and utilization activities of the organism. Once the liver function is abnormal, a series of disorders such as sugar metabolism, protein metabolism and fat substitution will occur. It has been found that most patients with liver cancer die from liver failure or gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by portal hypertension due to abnormal liver function. Chinese medicine treatment is to restore and protect the liver to the maximum extent on the basis of identification, and the focus is not on the tumor but on the improvement of symptoms. When the symptoms improve, the tumor will naturally stabilize or shrink.
