Patient's question:
Young me wants to know the general causes of this cancer and its treatment methods, what symptoms pelvic cancer has, and whether the survival rate is high and if pelvic cancer is prone to recurrence after early surgical treatment?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pelvic cancer first requires surgical removal of the tumor, and it is also necessary to determine whether the tumor has already metastasized. Generally, after surgical removal, local or systemic radiotherapy is performed to prevent the regeneration or spread of cancer cells. Therefore, it is advisable to have regular follow-up examinations after the initial treatment.Choosing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of pelvic cancer, TCM considers this condition to fall under the category of "scars and masses." The treatment primarily involves the combined use of herbs that promote blood circulation, eliminate masses, and alleviate pain. Examples include the combination of San Luo and E Zhu with Ta Ren and Da Huang. If necessary, herbs with anti-tumor effects, such as Huang Qi (Astragalus), Bai Zhu (Atractylodes), and She Cao (Coptis), should be used in conjunction with the treatment.
