The advantage of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of malignant tumor

Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy is currently the three main methods of treatment of cancer. With the Chinese medicine to prevent cancer research in depth, the current Chinese medicine therapy in the treatment of cancer also has a place. With traditional Chinese medicine treatment, can reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, strengthen the anti-cancer effect, enhance immune function, delay the recurrence of metastasis, improve quality of life and survival rate. Therefore, the treatment of malignant tumors, active use of traditional Chinese medicine with the treatment is to further improve the efficacy of an important way. The advantages of using traditional Chinese medicine in the following aspects.
       
1, increase the surgical resection rate, reduce surgical complications.
       
Preoperative application of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, can control the development of cancer, reduce inflammation around the tumor, so that lesions stable. Some people use traditional Chinese medicine treatment of advanced lung cancer, the lesion stability rate of about 70%. At the same time, preoperative application of traditional Chinese medicine can also improve the patient's organ function, such as liver function, cardiac function. This is conducive to surgical resection. Postoperative application of traditional Chinese medicine, on the one hand can improve or reduce some of the complications after surgery, such as fever, sweating, fatigue, less food, abdominal flatulence, poor stool, so that patients with postoperative recovery period shortened. On the other hand, long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine after surgery, in addition to improving physical fitness, but also to avoid or reduce the recurrence, metastasis, improve long-term treatment. It was reported that a group of 29 patients with liver cancer were surgical resection is not thorough, or portal vein tumor thrombus, after treatment by traditional Chinese medicine, reducing the recurrence rate, 5-year survival rate of about 20%. In short, before and after the application of traditional Chinese medicine, can improve the constitution, increase the surgical resection rate, reduce surgical complications.
       
2, prevention and treatment of radiotherapy and chemotherapy side effects
       
Radiation therapy of the tumor can induce radioactive inflammation, mainly as "dry", similar to the change of Chinese medicine Shangyinzhijin, this time with the heat detoxification, Yang Yin by liquid Chinese medicine treatment, can prevent the occurrence of radioactive side effects, or Treatment of radioactive inflammation. Radiation treatment of the spine or flat bone can cause bone marrow suppression, if the same time with Ziyin Bushen, nourishing blood of the agent can avoid or reduce bone marrow suppression. Chemotherapy is killing the tumor cells at the same time also kill normal cells, so the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs is one of the drug can be used directly to resolve the chemical toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine. Such as licorice a medicine, Chinese medicine can solve the hundred drugs, puerarin also kill the drug that the modern pharmacological research also confirmed that the two drugs have detoxification power. Qingrejiedu dampness of the traditional Chinese medicine can be confronted with some drug inflammatory reaction, such as money grass, days sunflower two drugs detoxification, Lee Tong Tong of the power, it is often used in chemotherapy drugs caused by the toxic side effects of the urinary system. Coptis can be used to relieve metabolic and antibiotic anticancer drugs caused by oral ulcers, vomiting, diarrhea and other side effects. Spleen and stomach of the traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the digestive tract reaction, such as ginger can be moderate in vomiting. From the above can be seen, traditional Chinese medicine can be effective against the release, chemotherapy-induced side effects.
       
3, to enhance the release, chemotherapy sensitivity
       
Radiotherapy, chemotherapy with the application of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a certain synergies. (Including Chuanxiong, safflower) and Fuzheng Synergist (including Astragalus, Chinese wolfberry, Ligustrum lucidum, heterophylla, safflower), is a potent radiosensitizer, , Hematoxylin, etc.) by improving the hypoxic status of cancer cells and sensitization. Many Fuzheng Chinese medicine, and chemotherapy drugs with, can enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs.
       
4, improve the survival rate, improve the quality of life
       
Chinese medicine treatment of malignant tumors may not be as sensitive as chemotherapy drugs, short-term solid tumors significantly reduced or even disappear, but the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of cancer is to take the combination of syndrome differentiation and disease, through the stability of the tumor, to improve the symptoms to achieve " With tumor survival "purposes. In 1994, Professor Schipper of Canada suggested that effective treatment did not require complete regression of the tumor, the body's response to the treatment of cancer is the most important point of view, just with the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of tumor consistent with the characteristics of the tumor also shows survival The scientific nature. Taking Tang Zhaoyou as an example, small cell lung cancer as a chemosensitivity tumor, after a strong chemotherapy, although some patients can achieve "CR" effect, but the recurrence rate is high, 5-year survival rate is still below 10%. The survival rate of the lesion was 67% ~ 87%, the median survival time was 9.5 ~ 13.8 months, the same period the control group were 35.0 ~ 55.5% and 6.0 ~ 8.0 months, and in the Symptoms and quality of life in Chinese medicine group also has certain advantages. It was observed in 45 cases of lung cancer, 3 months distant metastasis rate of 28.89% in traditional Chinese medicine group, the control group was 62.96%. Modern research also proved that the application of traditional Chinese medicine by improving the immune function, adjust the body environment, a direct anti-cancer effect and the elimination of residual cancer cells to prevent or delay cancer metastasis, improve quality of life and survival rate.
