Can late stage colorectal cancer be cured with Chinese medicine?

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in our lives. Generally, after suffering from this disease, abdominal pain and difficulty defecation will occur. It is difficult for patients in the early stage to discover their own symptoms, but in the late stage it is difficult to cure. For patients with advanced colon cancer, only timely symptomatic treatment can suppress the disease in time to improve the survival rate. Let us take a closer look at it.

First, for patients with advanced colon cancer, surgical treatment has become meaningless due to extensive metastasis, and chemotherapy is generally used. However, due to the poor overall physical condition of the patients, systemic chemotherapy alone cannot achieve the ideal therapeutic effect. It is advisable to use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, which can enhance the effect of chemotherapy while reducing the patient's pain and improving the quality of life.

Second, experts say that many patients with advanced colon cancer have undergone surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, and are in an extremely weak state. Chemotherapy, in particular, is a nearly destructive treatment method that is used out of necessity. Because while it kills tumor cells, it also kills immune cells on a large scale, destroying the immune system, and is powerless against tumor cells that have "slipped through the net" and multiplied, spread, and metastasized in large numbers. However, the effect of cell immunotherapy in advanced colon cancer is very significant.

Third, combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat colon cancer. In Western medicine, oxaliplatin, 5-FU and other chemotherapy drugs can be used. In traditional Chinese medicine, Fuzheng Xiaoji Decoction can be used in combination with chemotherapy. Fuzheng Xiaoji Decoction is composed of: 15g of Codonopsis pilosula, 15g of Astragalus, 20g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 12g of Poria, 30g of Raw Coix seeds, 30g of Lithospermum officinale, 30g of Hedyotis diffusa, 12g of Pinellia ternata, 20g of Smilax china, and 10g of Licorice.

Fourth, surgery for colon cancer. Colon cancer patients after surgery can generally use 2 to 3 courses of chemotherapy within one to one and a half years. It can be taken orally or intravenously. It is best to add it to glucose solution for drip infusion, 250 mg each time, once a day or every other day. Experts say that if the reaction is large, such as nausea, loss of appetite, weakness, decreased white blood cell and platelet counts, etc., the dosage can be reduced each time, or the interval can be increased. If bone marrow suppression is obvious, the drug can be stopped in time. The gastrointestinal reaction of oral administration is greater than that of intravenous administration, but the bone marrow suppression reaction is mild. Combining chemotherapy with traditional Chinese medicine treatment can reduce the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy and relieve the patient's pain, so that colon cancer patients can successfully complete chemotherapy.
