Stomach cancer can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine

Stomach cancer can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, but mostly as part of comprehensive treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine can relieve some discomfort symptoms of gastric cancer patients, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc., and help improve the quality of life of patients. Traditional Chinese medicine may play a synergistic role when combined with western medicine treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. It can alleviate the adverse reactions caused by western medicine treatment, such as bone marrow suppression caused by chemotherapy, digestive tract reactions, etc., so that patients can better tolerate treatment.

However, it is usually not enough to rely solely on traditional Chinese medicine to treat gastric cancer. Surgery is one of the main treatment methods for gastric cancer. For early gastric cancer, surgical resection may achieve curative effect. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also important treatment methods, especially for advanced gastric cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine should be reasonably applied according to the specific conditions of patients under the guidance of professional Chinese medicine doctors, combined with western medicine treatment, to form an individualized comprehensive treatment plan to improve the treatment effect and prolong the survival period of patients. At the same time, patients should maintain a good attitude, actively cooperate with treatment, and regularly review and follow up, so as to adjust the treatment strategy in time.
