How to use medicine rationally for tongue cancer

If conditions permit, patients will choose drug treatments that are less harmful, less painful, and less expensive. For patients with tongue cancer, drug treatment is even more important. It can not only cure tongue cancer, but also ensure that they will not lose their right to speak. This is very important for patients. So how to use drugs reasonably for tongue cancer? Let's learn about it together.

The treatment of tongue cancer is first to surgically remove the tumor, supplemented by radiotherapy, chemotherapy drugs and conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine can only be used as an auxiliary treatment for tongue cancer, and the effect of taking traditional Chinese medicine alone is not ideal. You can take the traditional Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (Hu Ming Su) with a content of more than 16% after surgery or at the same time as radiotherapy and chemotherapy to improve the success rate of surgery, reduce some toxic and side effects during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and reduce the recurrence and metastasis of tumors.

"Western medicine treats symptoms, while Chinese medicine treats the root cause." In the treatment of tongue cancer, Chinese medicine needs to decide how to treat it according to the patient's specific condition. Chinese medicine emphasizes the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment. I can refer to Professor Yuan Xifu's triple balance therapy to tell you that this therapy regards tongue cancer as a local manifestation of systemic disease. When conducting treatment, the relationship between the patient's overall condition and the local tumor is considered, and the key pathogenesis of tongue cancer - "deficiency", "stasis" and "toxicity" - is grasped. The three major countermeasures of "strengthening the body", "unblocking" and "detoxifying" are taken into account. The three major countermeasures of "strengthening the body", "unblocking" and "detoxifying" are adopted, and the medication is targeted and focused. The three aspects of strengthening the body, tonifying deficiency, unblocking and removing stasis, and attacking and detoxifying are used for syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the patient's specific condition, so as to achieve the fundamental purpose of regulating the balance of human yin and yang, qi and blood, and viscera physiological functions, and promote the improvement of patients' quality of life through the "human-tumor coexistence" treatment method.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment:

First, treat based on syndrome differentiation: For the same tumor, each patient has different constitutions, different early, middle and late stages, and different complications, so the manifestations are not exactly the same. Therefore, when treating, Chinese medicine will prescribe the right medicine for the right condition, with both fixed main prescriptions and flexible additions and subtractions of medicines. One prescription for each person, and treatment based on syndrome differentiation, is the essence of Chinese medicine for thousands of years, which is both scientific and reasonable. This is one of the distinctive features of how Chinese medicine treats tongue cancer.

Second, TCM focuses on whole body conditioning and focuses on treating the root cause: this is the advantage of TCM in treating tongue cancer that is incomparable to that of Chinese and Western medicine. Professor Yuan Xifu, a famous TCM anti-cancer expert and the father of triple balance therapy, found in clinical practice that almost all cancer patients have three basic etiologies and pathogenesis: deficiency of vital energy, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis, and cancer toxin aggregation, which can be simply summarized as "deficiency, stasis, and toxicity" (triple balance); targeting deficiency, stasis, and toxicity, TCM conditioning is used to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, replenishing deficiency, eliminating phlegm and removing blood stasis, and attacking toxins and dispersing nodules. Ultimately, the patient's qi, blood, yin and yang are restored, and the human body reaches the fundamental balance in its natural state (referred to as triple balance therapy).

Third, it is safe and has no toxic side effects: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has no risk of surgical accidents and anesthesia accidents, no surgical complications, no pain from surgical sequelae, and no toxic side effects of chemotherapy; and the drugs are all natural Chinese herbal medicines.

Fourth, it is easy for patients to accept: Chinese medicine treatment does not require surgery, chemotherapy, hospitalization, pain, risk, or toxic side effects, and costs little. The best advantage is that patients do not have to stay in a depressing hospital atmosphere but can be treated at home and recover under the care, encouragement, and care of their family.

Patients with tongue cancer should choose the treatment that suits them according to their condition. In addition, patients must follow the doctor's instructions and provide good nursing and dietary care to truly achieve the goal of curing and controlling the disease.
