The best medicine for treating bone cancer

Bone tumors are tumors that occur in bones or their appendages. They can be benign or malignant. Malignant bone tumors, commonly known as "bone cancer," develop rapidly, have a poor prognosis, and a high mortality rate. Malignant bone tumors are divided into primary and secondary. Malignant tumors from other tissues or organs in the body are circulated through the blood. So what are the drugs for treating bone cancer?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tumors are systemic diseases based on the holistic concept. Usually, the whole body is weak and the local part is strong. The weak part is the root of the disease, while the strong part is the symptom of the disease. In terms of treatment, drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften and disperse nodules, and clear away heat and detoxify are often used.

Fungal drugs such as Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum spores, Tremella fuciformis, Polyporus umbellatus, Lentinus edodes, and Versicolor have been considered precious products for strengthening the body since ancient times. Domestic scholars have conducted systematic research on the anti-tumor and immunomodulatory effects of such drugs. The main component of many of these drugs, proteoglycan, has shown anti-cancer activity in tumor-bearing mice and has been used as an adjuvant drug for chemotherapy in clinical practice.
