Several major advantages of TCM in treating liver cancer

For the treatment of liver cancer, early treatment is the key, and surgical treatment is a major treatment method. In addition to surgical treatment, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating liver cancer is still good. So what are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in treating liver cancer ? The following is a detailed answer from relevant experts.

1. The advantage of TCM in treating liver cancer is that it protects liver function to the maximum extent. The liver is the largest digestive gland in the human body, and its tasks are quite arduous. It participates in various digestive metabolism, absorption and utilization activities of the body. Once liver function is abnormal, a series of disorders such as sugar metabolism, protein metabolism, and fat metabolism will occur. Most liver cancer patients die of liver failure or massive gastrointestinal bleeding caused by portal hypertension due to abnormal liver function. TCM treatment is to restore and protect the liver to the maximum extent based on syndrome differentiation, 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.

2. Minimize complications. Hypersplenism is the most serious complication of most liver cancer patients. It can cause abnormal hematopoietic mechanism and coagulation dysfunction. In addition to portal hypertension, it causes highly varicose veins at the fundus of the stomach, which can easily cause massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Abnormal liver function can also lead to insufficient protein synthesis, low protein, and a large amount of ascites. Tumor compression can also cause bile excretion disorders, causing jaundice, etc. Treatment using the characteristics of Chinese medicine such as strengthening the spleen and regulating qi, promoting digestion, softening and dispersing nodules can achieve the effect of reducing AFP, normalizing liver function, increasing phagocytes, T cells, and tumor necrosis factor, promoting the increase of patients' diet, eliminating ascites, removing jaundice, and controlling the continued growth of tumors. This is the advantage of Chinese medicine in treating liver cancer.

The third advantage of TCM in treating liver cancer is that it can improve the quality of life and living of patients to the greatest extent. Cancer is still a stubborn disease in the world. No doctor in a regular hospital dares to claim to have cured the disease. However, in view of the characteristics of liver cancer, which has rich blood supply, double blood supply, rapid metastasis and rapid growth, TCM focuses on peripheral symptoms and adopts the strategic idea of ​​"surrounding the city with the countryside", which relieves many symptoms caused by the primary lesion. Patients treated by TCM generally do not feel pain, ascites disappears, liver function drops to normal, jaundice subsides, and the goal of "surviving with tumor" is achieved. Patients who originally lived for 3 to 6 months can extend their survival to 1 to 3 years, or even longer, and they can take care of themselves and participate in some sports activities.

The above is an introduction to the advantages of TCM in treating liver cancer. I hope that patients will receive symptomatic treatment and recover as soon as possible. If you want to know more about liver cancer, please consult online experts.
