Reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy try Chinese medicine

Long-term clinical practice so that we have reached an important experience in the radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with intermittent should make good use of Chinese medicine to cure poison, to seize the anti-tumor and enhance immunity and the elimination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy clinical symptoms caused by the three links. Not only can ensure the smooth progress of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and can greatly reduce the possibility of metastasis and recurrence.

At present, radiation therapy and chemotherapy is still the main method of treating cancer. However, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are "Quanmianfengsha", "focusing not defend" in killing cancer cells but also kill normal cells, can lead to gastrointestinal disorders, bone marrow suppression, such as toxicity, in particular the Destroyed the body's immune system, can lead to serious infection with the human body and function failure. According to research, surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the residual cancer cells have a stronger growth characteristics, once with the right environment, it will be faster than the original 200 times the speed of growth, while the release of some special material, and dissolved Destruction of the surrounding normal tissue, blood and into the metastasis and recurrence. Therefore, radiotherapy and chemotherapy if not promptly after the immune restoration, can aggravate cancer metastasis and recurrence. Reasonable application of Chinese medicine can help eliminate the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy response, while avoiding the transfer of cancer recurrence.

Under normal circumstances, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will affect the digestive function, or even anorexia, nausea, vomiting, affect consumption. However, the regeneration capacity of gastrointestinal function is very strong, especially in the crowd in their prime, usually natural recovery. In my experience, chemotherapy during the general principle is twofold: First. Some family members of patients in order to make an early recovery, forcing the patients eat, eat well (high-nutrition) things. But this is often counterproductive, because the damage gastrointestinal function, we can not absorb, Tuzeng does not apply. At this time catering to light, or easy to assimilate into the semi-liquid, such as atherosclerosis soups. If severe vomiting, stopped eating two meals might be one. Gastrointestinal function after the resumption of nutrition can be appropriately increased, including some high-protein, high-nutrition food, but there must be "degree." Radiotherapy patients can be properly and point tremella, Lily Ziyin of goods such as radiation damage the body vulnerable Jinye. Second, radiotherapy and chemotherapy during the traditional Chinese medicine must also be adjusted. Radiotherapy in order to heat Ziyin, but not too greasy mayonnaise; chemotherapy to Hu Wei, and the stomach for the first, if the patient response from the show, Tang Yao may wish to stop 23 days, to gastrointestinal "rest."

In radiotherapy and chemotherapy, interleukin decline is inevitable, and patients need not panic, should actively cooperate with the various methods increased WBC. If the chemotherapy interim period, before the next chemotherapy shorter, and the WBC dropped very significantly, the application of white or might not, but the treatment of the total evisceration of the suspected meat-sore. In fact, in this regard, Chinese medicine in the suppression of certain elements can kill cancer cells and protect the immune function. I have treated patients with an advanced ovarian cancer, chemotherapy after a serious bone marrow suppression, IL to 1100, lowering blood. To prevent infection, the hospital her isolation, the use of the agent or white, but the WBC are jumping on the jump and drop any more. I opened with the traditional Chinese medicine treatment is poison and Tang Yao stimulate blood and inhibit tumor, taking two weeks, the WBC has risen 4200. Later, in coordination with traditional Chinese medicine, blood, as always maintain the good state. Therefore, in general, patients must have a decline in the WBC prepared and take active preventive measures.

The side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs so that the body can not bear the continuous treatment, in the course of treatment to set up intermittent period of waiting to resume. Currently, Western medicine in the two radiotherapy and chemotherapy interim period, mostly just waiting for the WBC and liver function, such as the restoration, or use of meat-sore point evisceration of the agent or white, so that this period as the treatment gap. In fact, during the period of treatment is very important. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy as a whole during the immune function decline is the result of unavoidable, the more the number of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the greater the dose, toxicity (or injury) is, immune function and the entire state has more body, the lower down, the more they can not control The proliferation of cancer cells, making it difficult to prevent metastasis and recurrence. This is why a lot of common-chemotherapy cancer patients, while recurrence, while the reasons for the transfer. Long-term clinical practice so that we have reached an important experience in the radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with intermittent should make good use of Chinese medicine to cure poison, to seize the anti-tumor and enhance immunity and the elimination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy clinical symptoms caused by the three links. Not only can ensure the smooth progress of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and can greatly reduce the possibility of metastasis and recurrence. For long-term need for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or those poor physique, medicine and poison the treatment is even more important.
