How to treat lung cancer with traditional Chinese medicine

Experts from the Oncology Hospital said that in recent years, Chinese medicine has also adopted the Western medicine "disease differentiation" treatment model when treating diseases. Therefore, the principle of modern Chinese medicine in treating lung cancer is to use some Chinese herbal medicines with certain anti-cancer effects for disease differentiation treatment on the basis of syndrome differentiation treatment. Practice has shown that the combination of syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation has a good effect in treating tumors. Experts from the Oncology Hospital introduced the TCM treatment methods for lung cancer.

Theoretical basis of TCM treatment of lung cancer: syndrome differentiation and treatment

① Strengthening the body and strengthening the foundation in the treatment of lung cancer with traditional Chinese medicine

Theoretical basis: Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that deficiency syndrome is an important cause and pathogenesis of tumor occurrence and development. Insufficient vital energy and weak qi and blood lead to dysfunction of internal organs, resulting in a series of pathological changes such as qi stagnation, blood stasis, dampness accumulation, and phlegm accumulation, which eventually form tumors. Clinical practice has also fully proved that strengthening the body and nourishing the body can relieve symptoms, improve the quality of life, prolong survival, reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and may reduce the recurrence rate and improve the cure rate for some tumors such as lung cancer. Therefore, strengthening the body and nourishing the body is the characteristic and advantage of traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating lung cancer.

Indications: Mainly suitable for advanced tumors.

② Expelling pathogens in TCM treatment of lung cancer

Theoretical basis: Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that exogenous evil is a factor in the occurrence and development of tumors. Due to long-term unclean diet, emotional disorders, overwork, etc., the body's yin and yang are out of balance, the organs are out of balance, and exogenous evil takes advantage of the opportunity to enter, causing a series of pathological changes such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the gathering of evil toxins, which eventually form tumors. Therefore, eliminating evil is also a major principle of traditional Chinese medicine for treating tumors, which has a good effect.

Indications: early stage tumors and patients with good physical constitution.

Evaluation: Syndrome is a basic pathological process that Western medicine has not yet recognized. Syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM is the characteristic and advantage of TCM in treating diseases. Syndrome differentiation and treatment can treat tumors by adjusting the balance of yin and yang in patients and improving their immune system. Although the subjective therapeutic effect of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM is good, the objective therapeutic effect is poor, and the change in tumor volume is often not significant.

The above is an introduction to the TCM treatment of lung cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
