Can life be prolonged in late stage laryngeal cancer

The incidence of laryngeal cancer is increasing year by year, and its incidence is extremely high. So, how should we control it? According to experts, advanced laryngeal cancer mainly refers to patients with stage IV laryngeal cancer, who basically have no chance of surgery. Western medicine mainly adopts a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for treatment. The survival time of advanced laryngeal cancer cannot be generalized. If you actively cooperate with the treatment, you can fully extend the patient's survival time and improve the quality of life. In addition, it is also related to the patient's physical condition and the degree of development of the disease, especially closely related to the selected treatment method.

Conventional Western Medicine Treatment for Laryngeal Cancer in Advanced Stages

Generally speaking, patients with advanced laryngeal cancer have basically lost the chance of surgery, and radiotherapy, chemotherapy and symptomatic treatment are commonly used treatment methods in Western medicine. The harm of overtreatment of patients with advanced laryngeal cancer is obvious.

For example, some patients with advanced laryngeal cancer have metastasized to multiple sites and cannot undergo radical surgery. If there are no life-threatening complications, surgery will do more harm than good. Some patients have repeated chemotherapy, which causes leukopenia and physical weakness. At this time, chemotherapy will only increase pain and accelerate death. Some patients suffer from radiotherapy sequelae caused by excessive radiotherapy, which are often more painful and difficult to treat than the laryngeal cancer itself. Western medicine in symptomatic treatment also causes certain damage to the body.

In addition, various conventional biological immunotherapies do not break the immunosuppression around the tumor. Not only are the injected immune cells unable to enter the tumor, but most of them are destroyed and inactivated by the immune factors secreted by the tumor, and their therapeutic effects are minimal.

Experts remind that since patients with advanced laryngeal cancer have poor physical conditions, they should try to avoid traumatic treatments to avoid accelerating the patient's death.

How to prolong life and improve quality of life in advanced laryngeal cancer

During the palliative treatment of some patients with advanced laryngeal cancer, large amounts of chemotherapy or nutritional fluids are infused intravenously, and they eat very little, which further reduces the spleen and stomach functions of the patients. The patients have no source of Qi and blood metabolism, the body's "positive Qi" deteriorates, and the "evil Qi" invades faster, which not only fails to control laryngeal cancer but also destroys the patients' only "stomach Qi". As the saying goes, "A strong stomach makes you strong, a weak stomach makes you weak, with a stomach you live, without a stomach you die!" When the "stomach Qi" is completely lost, it is like a car walking on thin ice, in danger of overturning at any time.

The symptoms of patients with advanced laryngeal cancer are mainly deficiency, that is, the deficiency of qi, blood, yin and yang, which is closely related to spleen deficiency, leading to the appearance of pathological products such as dampness, stasis and toxicity. Through standardized TCM tumor atrophy therapy, focusing on strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, benefiting the stomach and producing body fluid, it can play a role in regulating the deficiency of qi, blood, yin and yang. It allows laryngeal cancer patients to maintain a normal appetite, enhance the patient's physical fitness, maintain the patient's normal physical strength, effectively relieve and stabilize laryngeal cancer lesions and metastatic lesions, and has a significant improvement effect on the clinical symptoms of advanced laryngeal cancer, reducing the occurrence of complications such as gastric infection and pleural effusion, which can improve the patient's quality of life and fully prolong the patient's survival time.
