How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat lung cancer? How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a serious disease that affects our health and life. There are many ways to treat lung cancer, including the most advanced surgery and chemotherapy, but they also bring certain side effects. Below, I, an expert, will recommend to you some relevant knowledge about the treatment of lung cancer with traditional Chinese medicine.

Precancerous lesions can be stopped here

Traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized the preventive medicine principle of "treating disease before it occurs". How to prevent the occurrence of cancer and effectively treat precancerous lesions is currently a hot topic in cancer prevention and treatment. Studies have confirmed that many Chinese medicines have the effect of blocking or delaying the malignant transformation of precancerous lesions, and are low in toxicity, inexpensive and easily accepted by patients, fully demonstrating the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine.

The occurrence of malignant tumors is a gradual process. Some benign diseases of certain organs in the human body are prone to abnormal cell proliferation and have a tendency to malignant changes. These abnormal proliferations with a tendency to cancer are called precancerous lesions. For example, the progression of liver cancer is from the initial hepatitis to further develop into cirrhosis. If not properly treated, it can lead to the occurrence of liver cancer. Precancerous lesions are a special stage before the occurrence of malignant tumors, and not all precancerous lesions will become malignant tumors.

Preventing recurrence of early-stage cancer after surgery

For early-stage tumors, surgical treatment is recommended. It is best to cure them through surgical treatment. According to the patient's condition, choose surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, combined with Chinese medicine for auxiliary treatment. Western medicine is fast in treating symptoms, while Chinese medicine emphasizes "preventing changes and recurrence" and focuses on treating the root cause. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can achieve "treating both the symptoms and the root cause". In terms of the application of Chinese medicine, according to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, the anti-cancer effect is better and the recovery prognosis is better.

After surgery, patients are prone to damage to their body tissues and loss of Qi and blood, which weakens their physique and easily leads to cancer recurrence. If they can cooperate with TCM treatment in time after surgery, they can strengthen their body constitution, improve their diet and sleep conditions, and enhance their physique. In particular, it can cause Qi and blood deficiency, and TCM has certain advantages in this regard, which can make the body recover faster.

Relieve discomfort from chemotherapy

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are important means of tumor treatment. However, many cancer patients suffer from severe side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, especially digestive impairment and suppression of bone marrow hematopoietic function. Severe gastrointestinal reactions often force cancer patients to interrupt chemotherapy because they cannot accept it, and even make their condition worse.

Traditional Chinese medicine controls chemotherapy and radiotherapy, because the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are very large. Many patients have good effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but the toxic side effects are often difficult for patients to accept. At this time, traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine can be said to be able to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. For example, gastrointestinal reactions after chemotherapy and radiotherapy include: anorexia, decreased food intake, belching, hiccups, nausea and vomiting, and abnormal bowel movements. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by the invasion of evil toxins, interference with the gastrointestinal tract, the spleen's inability to move and not rise, and the turbid gas in the stomach that does not descend but rises. The treatment is mainly based on harmonizing the stomach and reducing turbidity, and the treatment is based on syndrome differentiation according to the different manifestations of the patient.

Improving the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer

Many patients with advanced cancer choose to receive treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. For some patients with advanced disease or whose lesions are not suitable for surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, taking traditional Chinese medicine mainly serves the purpose of controlling tumor growth, improving quality of life and prolonging survival time.

Traditional Chinese medicine has great potential for treating advanced cancer. First, it can improve the patient's physical condition, enhance the patient's disease resistance, and improve his basic conditions such as diet, sleep, and urination. Secondly, it can also kill cancer cells themselves and treat the symptoms caused by cancer.

During the treatment process, patients must be mentally prepared and actively cooperate with the doctor's advice and guidance. Do not blindly use some drugs to treat the disease, otherwise it will bring serious consequences to the disease. Remember, do not make such mistakes, keep it in mind.
