Cancer & Tumor

There are many treatments for cancer, such as surgery, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, Chinese medicine therapy etc. 

The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment is more suitable for patients with early-stage cancer. In the early stage, when the cancer cells have not spread or metastasized, the cancer cells can be removed through surgery, which may achieve a radical cure.

2. Radiotherapy: If metastasis has occurred or surgery cannot cure the disease, radiotherapy can be combined with radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink the tumor. Radiation therapy can choose the radiation distance according to the lesion, including external radiation therapy and internal brachytherapy.

3. Targeted therapy: Before targeted therapy, genetic testing is required to find the target, and then it can be determined whether it is suitable for targeted therapy. The side effects of this treatment are relatively small. After the drug enters the body, it can quickly find cancer cells and then act on the cancer cells accurately, causing less damage to normal tissues.

4. In the early days, traditional Chinese medicine mainly inhibited the development of tumors and prevented the recurrence and metastasis of cancer by regulating the body’s righteousness and blood circulation.During the treatment phase, such as before and after surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to improve the patient’s immunity, promote recovery, and increase the therapeutic effect.

In addition to the above relatively common treatments, there are other treatments, such as immunotherapy. Cancer is generally treated comprehensively, and several treatments may be used at the same time.
