What are the methods for treating bile duct cancer

What are the methods for treating bile duct cancer? For patients with bile duct cancer, the choice of treatment will determine the final treatment effect, so patients are very concerned about the treatment method. With the development of modern medical technology, the method of treating bile duct cancer is no longer single. So what are the methods for treating bile duct cancer?

1. Surgical treatment of bile duct cancer: Surgical treatment of bile duct cancer can include three methods: resectable hilar bile duct cancer surgery, resection of hilar bile duct cancer, and resection of middle and lower bile duct cancer. Because surgical treatment can quickly remove local tumor tissue and has a quick effect, it is still the first choice for the treatment of bile duct cancer. However, it is undeniable that the inability to eradicate tumor cells and the easy recurrence and metastasis after surgery are also the shortcomings of surgical treatment of bile duct cancer.

2. TCM treatment of bile duct cancer: TCM believes that the occurrence of bile duct cancer is mostly caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, unhealthy diet, dampness and heat obstruction, which turns into fire and accumulates inside over time, causing obstruction and blockage of the bile duct. The lesions involve the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, with the main lesions in the liver and gallbladder. Therefore, TCM treatment of bile duct cancer focuses on soothing the liver and gallbladder, clearing the bowels and removing jaundice, and promoting the flow of dampness. Moreover, from a holistic perspective, bile duct cancer is regarded as a local manifestation of a systemic disease. During treatment, attention should be paid to the relationship between the overall condition of the body and the local tumor. Due to the limitations of slow and unstable efficacy in the treatment of bile duct cancer, it is recommended to be used in conjunction with other therapies.

3. Radiotherapy for bile duct cancer Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used as the main treatment for bile duct cancer, and can also be used as an adjuvant treatment for surgery. Although radiotherapy and chemotherapy have certain efficacy in the treatment of bile duct cancer, their own toxic side effects cannot be ignored by patients, so they have not been widely used.

4. Comprehensive plan: The comprehensive plan not only draws on the strengths of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but also avoids their weaknesses. It treats patients according to their different conditions. The most effective treatment for bile duct cancer is the gyro knife combined with traditional Chinese medicine. The gyro knife is one of the most advanced technologies for the treatment of bile duct cancer. It does not require surgery, is painless, traumatic, or has no toxic side effects. It is trustworthy and has significant effects.
