What are the benefits of treating tumors with traditional Chinese medicine?

Cancer is a disease that seriously threatens people's life and health, so the treatment of cancer should try to follow the principle of early detection and early treatment intervention. Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is a relatively common method for treating cancer, which can better avoid side effects and can increase the success rate of surgery when combined with surgery.

First, it can effectively prevent the occurrence and development of tumors. Treating "tangible" tumors is certainly not the forte of traditional Chinese medicine, but it does have a lot of applications in preventing the occurrence of tumors that have not yet "formed". The characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine are its holistic viewpoint that takes "people" as the center and its core is to adjust yin and yang and to treat symptoms based on syndrome differentiation. The occurrence of cancer is a long process, from the participation of carcinogens in human metabolism, the initiation and promotion of cancer, DNA damage and repair, and then the development of precancerous lesions. It takes about 5 to 20 years for precancerous lesions to develop into carcinoma in situ, and then from carcinoma in situ to advanced cancer with the ability to invade or metastasize. This long process provides ample space for prevention and treatment of cancer with traditional Chinese medicine.

Second, the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in treating tumors also include many aspects, such as improving the success rate of surgery, reducing complications and secondary diseases; cooperating with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to reduce toxicity and increase efficacy; improving the body's internal environment and adjusting immunity; and using traditional Chinese medicine to prevent recurrence or metastasis when tumor patients have undergone surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy for relief.

Third, traditional Chinese medicine can also play an important role in the direct treatment of tumors. For example, in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, liver cancer, brain tumors, sarcomas, and late-stage tumors that have recurred or metastasized, it is entirely possible to bring about a turn for the better if the ideas are right, the responses are orderly, and the combinations are appropriate. In particular, searching for effective anti-cancer ingredients from natural medicines, enhancing the body's immune function, and inducing cancer cell differentiation and apoptosis is a fascinating field. In this regard, traditional Chinese medicine will play a big role.

In short, Chinese medicine plays an extremely important role in reducing the incidence and mortality of cancer.
