Can bile duct cancer be completely cured?

Medical technology is becoming more and more advanced nowadays, and there have been many precedents of cancer patients being cured. Cholangiocarcinoma has always been described as a difficult-to-cure cancer, so what is the chance of cure? Can cholangiocarcinoma be completely cured? Let's discuss this today.

First, let's understand what kind of disease cholangiocarcinoma is. Cholangiocarcinoma refers to a malignant tumor originating from the extrahepatic bile duct, including the bile duct from the portal area to the lower end of the common bile duct. Its cause may be related to diseases such as bile duct stones and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Whether bile duct cancer can be completely cured is the voice of many patients. Clinically, bile duct cancer is not an incurable disease, but the patient's condition, mental state, physical condition, and subsequent treatment all have an impact on whether it can be cured. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of bile duct cancer is mostly due to liver depression and qi stagnation, improper diet, damp heat obstruction, and the accumulation of fire in the body over time, which leads to obstruction and formation of bile duct masses. The lesions involve the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, and the main lesions are in the liver and gallbladder. Therefore, the treatment focuses on soothing the liver and gallbladder, clearing the bowels and relieving jaundice, and clearing the dampness.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of cancer is the result of the struggle between good and evil, and good cannot overcome evil. Therefore, in the treatment of bile duct cancer, on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the body and consolidate the foundation, and on the other hand, it is necessary to eliminate evil and eliminate tumors. Based on this treatment idea, under the promotion of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, many Chinese patent medicines and Chinese medicine preparations have been applied to the treatment of bile duct cancer, and the effect is definite. In addition, after surgery for middle and late stage bile duct cancer, it is supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, such as the Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (life-protecting element). Its high efficiency and non-toxic characteristics make up for the shortcomings of some previous drugs and treatment methods in the treatment of bile duct cancer. By strengthening the body and eliminating evil, invigorating qi, nourishing blood, and harmonizing the spleen and stomach, the patient's physical condition can be restored to a certain extent.

Combining chemotherapy with Chinese medicine can reduce the toxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs, improve the body's immune system, and enhance the patient's tolerance to treatment, while also having a synergistic effect. Combining Chinese medicine with radiotherapy can reduce the damage caused by radiotherapy, promote the recovery of the body's normal functions, enhance physical fitness, and improve the efficacy.

It can be seen that although bile duct cancer cannot be completely cured, its condition can be controlled through treatment and the patient's pain can be alleviated.
