Compound Taxus Capsules

Lung cancer is one of the more serious cancers and poses a huge threat to the patient's life. In the past, experts recommended that people over 40 should have a chest X-ray once a year in the hope of detecting chest diseases earlier. However, studies have found that the chance of detecting early lung cancer through chest X-ray is less than one in two, even if the cancer cells are fortunately found to have already spread and metastasized.

Lung cancer is often caused by smoking and air pollution. The early symptoms are not very obvious, including chest pain, cough, blood in sputum, low fever, etc. However, it is difficult to attract the patient's attention. Therefore, many patients with lung cancer are already in the middle and late stages. So what are the symptoms of late-stage lung cancer? Let the experts explain them to you below.

Symptoms of advanced lung cancer:

1. Edema. Because there is a superior vena cava on the right side of the mediastinum, venous blood from the upper limbs and head and neck is transported back to the heart. When the tumor invades the right side of the mediastinum and compresses the superior vena cava, the venous return is poor, leading to edema of the face and neck.

2. There is blood in the sputum. Lung cancer cells invade blood vessels or cause small blood vessels to rupture, resulting in hemoptysis and blood in sputum.

3. Headache. Lung cancer cells metastasize to the brain, causing intracranial hypertension or brain nerve damage, resulting in headaches, visual impairment, or changes in personality and temper.

4. Hoarseness. Hoarseness is the most common symptom in patients with advanced lung cancer. The recurrent laryngeal nerve, which controls the left side's vocal function, descends from the neck to the chest, bypasses the large blood vessels of the heart, and returns upward to the larynx, thereby innervating the left side of the vocal organ.

5. Shortness of breath and pleural effusion. Almost all patients with advanced lung cancer that has spread regionally experience shortness of breath. Normal tissue fluid produced by the lungs and heart muscle is drained by the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest. When these lymph nodes are blocked by the tumor, the tissue fluid will accumulate in the pericardium to form a pericardial effusion or in the chest cavity to form a pleural effusion.

In clinical practice, compound yew capsules are often used to treat cancer. So how is the effect of compound yew capsules in treating lung cancer? It is understood that compound yew capsules have the effects of dispelling evil and strengthening the body, unblocking meridians and dispersing stagnation; they are used to treat patients with middle and late stage tumors caused by qi deficiency and phlegm dampness, qi and yin deficiency, and qi stagnation and blood deficiency; they are suitable for the treatment of middle and late stage cancers such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, rectal cancer, liver tumors, head tumors, and leukemia. Clinically proven, Compound Taxus Capsules have significant synergistic effects and improve the quality of life of lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Although lung cancer is difficult to cure, if patients actively seek treatment, follow doctor's advice, and undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the symptoms of many patients with advanced cancer can be alleviated. Lung cancer patients should pay attention to eating more protein-rich foods, such as eggs, lean meat, animal liver, etc., and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.
