Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Prevent Recurrence of Tongue Cancer?

The incidence of tongue cancer has gradually increased in recent years. Patients with tongue cancer must seek timely treatment to try to find and treat it early, so as to reduce the damage to the body and the inconvenience in life caused by the disease. It can also be treated by combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. So some patients asked whether traditional Chinese medicine can prevent the recurrence of tongue cancer? Let's find out together.

The fundamental pathogenesis of tongue cancer is congenital deficiency, acquired disorder of daily life, emotional distress, improper diet, etc., which lead to deficiency of vital energy, poor function of internal organs, weak qi transport, inability to transform phlegm and dampness, qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm coagulation, which block the tongue and cause cancer. In terms of the course of the disease, it is due to deficiency that leads to excess, which leads to more deficiency, resulting in a mixture of deficiency and excess, and deficiency in the beginning and excess in the end. In the differentiation of tongue cancer, the main feature in the early stage is evil and excess, with symptoms of fire poison accumulation, followed by a mixture of deficiency and excess, and in the late stage, evil is strong and the vital energy is weak, with a state of both qi and blood deficiency.

First, treatment based on syndrome differentiation: For the same tumor, each patient has a different constitution, different early, middle and late stages, and different complications, so the manifestations are not exactly the same. Therefore, when treating, Chinese medicine will prescribe the right medicine for the right condition, with both fixed main prescriptions and flexible additions and subtractions of medicines. One prescription for each person, and treatment based on syndrome differentiation, is the essence of Chinese medicine for thousands of years, which is both scientific and reasonable. This is one of the distinctive features of Chinese medicine in treating recurrent tongue cancer.

Second, it is safe and has no toxic side effects: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has no risk of surgical accidents and anesthesia accidents, no surgical complications, no pain from surgical sequelae, and no toxic side effects of chemotherapy; and the drugs are all natural Chinese herbal medicines.

Third, TCM focuses on whole body conditioning and focuses on treating the root cause: this is the advantage of TCM in treating tongue cancer that is incomparable to that of TCM and Western medicine. In clinical practice, it is found that almost all cancer patients have three basic etiologies and pathogenesis: deficiency of vital energy, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis, and cancer toxin aggregation, which can be simply summarized as "deficiency, stasis, and toxicity" (triple combination); targeting deficiency, stasis, and toxicity, TCM conditioning can achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, replenishing deficiency, eliminating phlegm and removing blood stasis, and attacking toxins and dispersing nodules. Ultimately, the patient's qi, blood, yin and yang are restored, and the human body reaches the fundamental balance in its natural state.

In the past, tongue cancer was a disease suffered by the elderly, but now young people also suffer from it. Therefore, we must pay attention to the recurrence symptoms of this disease in life, discover it in time, and treat it in time. Don’t miss the best treatment time. I wish everyone good health.
