Is it good to take Chinese medicine for melanoma

Melanoma is highly malignant, and surgery is the main treatment. The possibility of recurrence and metastasis after surgery is high. At present, the comprehensive treatment is more effective. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for melanoma, such as taking ginsenoside Rh2 at the same time as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can reduce the possibility of recurrence and metastasis. Especially for some elderly melanoma patients who are too weak to bear other treatments, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is also the main treatment.
