Advantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Breast Cancer in Situ

as follows:

1. Chinese medicine has a strong holistic concept and can often consider the overall characteristics of the patient, rather than just the cancer lesions themselves. Chinese medicine conditioning can correct some disorders in the body, eliminate factors of tumor recurrence, and reduce the chance of metastasis. Chinese medicine is relatively less harmful to healthy cells. Generally speaking, due to the treatment itself, it will not cause new damage to physical strength. When cancer improves, physical strength will gradually recover and immunity will gradually increase. Chinese medicine prevention and treatment of early cancer diseases also starts from the holistic concept, with unique advantages such as cystic breast hyperplasia.

Experts divide it into four clinical types: 1. Phlegm stagnation and blood stasis 2. Liver depression and qi stagnation 3. Chong and Ren meridian stasis 4. Heart blood stasis.

2. TCM can reduce the toxic and side effects of the "three axes". Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the three axes of conventional treatment for breast cancer. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine can produce special effects in reducing the toxic and side effects of these three axes, greatly improving the survival period and quality of life of patients. If breast cancer patients can cooperate with TCM treatment in time after surgery, correct and consolidate the foundation, improve diet and sleep, and strengthen physical fitness, it will be of great benefit to prevent the recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer. If TCM treatments such as strengthening the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and blood, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and softening blood stasis are combined with breast cancer chemotherapy or after chemotherapy, the chemotherapy reaction can be better alleviated and help the smooth progress of chemotherapy. If TCM treatment is combined with breast cancer radiotherapy during and after radiotherapy, it has a good effect on increasing the number of white blood cells and enhancing immune function, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of radiotherapy. Professor Wu Yichun particularly emphasizes early diagnosis and early surgery of breast rocks in clinical practice.

3. TCM can strengthen the body and eliminate evil. When using TCM to treat breast cancer, we should follow the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, comprehensively analyze the patient's symptoms, signs, Western medicine treatment methods, different treatment stages, the patient's qi and blood after the disease, and the yin and yang deficiency and excess of the viscera function, etc., and then propose a corresponding treatment plan.
