Can Coptis chinensis cure lung cancer?

1. Coptis chinensis cannot cure lung cancer. Patients with lung cancer should go to the hospital in time and receive targeted treatment.

2. Coptis chinensis is a common Chinese herbal medicine. Coptis chinensis has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxifying. It is clinically used for symptoms such as vomiting and acid regurgitation, damp-heat diarrhea, irritability, red eyes and toothache. It also has a certain therapeutic effect on external ear eczema and ear canal pus. However, Coptis chinensis has no effect on treating lung cancer, so Coptis chinensis cannot treat lung cancer.

3. Lung cancer is a primary malignant tumor of the lung that originates from the bronchial mucosa or glands. The causes of lung cancer are related to smoking, occupational exposure, air pollution, ionizing radiation, etc. Lung cancer patients do not have obvious discomfort symptoms in the early stages. As the tumor volume increases, it will compress the surrounding tissues, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sputum, and hemoptysis. Patients can use targeted drugs such as erlotinib hydrochloride tablets and gefitinib tablets for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. For patients with early lung cancer, surgical methods such as bilateral lobectomy and bronchial sleeve lobectomy can also be used for treatment.
