Characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Colorectal Cancer

In the late stage of colorectal cancer, due to the large-scale metastasis and spread of the tumor, most patients need long-term radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but patients who have developed drug resistance may make their lives more fragile. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can often achieve good results. So, what are the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine as a traditional treatment?

Have a strong overall concept

Although a tumor is a cancerous change that occurs in a certain part of the body, it is actually a systemic disease. For many people, local treatment cannot solve the problem of radical cure. Chinese medicine focuses on the holistic concept and implements syndrome differentiation and treatment. Many Chinese medicines have the unique effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, softening and dissolving tumors. After taking them for a period of time, they can destroy the reproduction of cancer cells and cut off the nutritional supply to cancerous tissues, so that the tumor gradually shrinks until it disappears; most patients in the late stage are already deficient in vitality and both qi and blood are injured. According to the patient's specific physical condition, syndrome differentiation and medication can also help enhance the patient's immunity to promote recovery from the disease. In this way, both local treatment is taken into consideration and the method of strengthening the body and strengthening the root is adopted, which plays an important role in improving the patient's physical condition.

Can make up for the shortcomings of Western medicine

Surgery can certainly remove cancer and improve local lesions, but the remaining tumor may metastasize through lymph nodes or remain in blood vessels to form emboli, which also poses a great threat. Taking Chinese medicine regularly can help prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis; Chinese medicine has the function of detoxifying and eliminating tumors, which helps to reduce damage to the digestive tract and hematopoietic system.
