Patient's question:
A 16-month-old girl was taken to the hospital for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (date: October 17, 2010) and diagnosed with a brain tumor. Symptoms: scratching her head, shaking her head, sometimes trembling when holding things, and legs trembling when standing with hands.Doctor's answer:
Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the three main pillars of conventional treatment for brain tumors. The integration of traditional Chinese medicine can produce special effects in reducing the side effects of these three treatments, significantly improving patients' survival rates and quality of life. If brain tumor patients can receive timely traditional Chinese medicine treatment after surgery to support the body's balance and strengthen its foundation, improve dietary and sleep conditions, and enhance physical fitness, it will greatly benefit the prevention of brain tumor recurrence and metastasis. In the treatment of brain tumors, taking modern Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (Humedix) can play a role in reducing toxicity and enhancing efficacy. After surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, using ginsenoside Rh2 capsules (with the optimal human absorption content of 16.2%) can also help prevent recurrence and metastasis to a certain extent.
