Two proven Chinese herbal prescriptions for treating colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is a general term for malignant tumors of the mucosal epithelium of the entire intestinal segment from the cecum to the rectum. It is a common digestive tract malignancy and is currently referred to as "intestinal mushrooms" in traditional Chinese medicine. Before surgery, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate the functions of the internal organs and correct the imbalance of yin and yang, which can improve the patient's tolerance to surgery and ensure the efficacy of the surgery.
