During pelvic cancer radiotherapy, do cancer cells metastasize?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling uncomfortable for a while, and after checking into the hospital, I was diagnosed with pelvic cancer. I'm still very scared and want to ask if cancer cells will metastasize during pelvic cancer radiotherapy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, patient. If your physical condition is relatively good at this time, chemotherapy can be considered. However, the side effects of chemotherapy are very significant. Combining traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) during chemotherapy to reinforce treatment would be beneficial. Chinese herbal medicine is relatively mild and has no side effects, making it generally acceptable to patients. Moreover, most cancer patients can alleviate pain, prolong their lives, and improve their quality of life by taking Chinese herbal medicine. Additionally, Chinese herbal medicine can reduce toxicity, enhance efficacy, boost the immune system, and correct the side effects of chemotherapy.
Continuous bleeding may lead to secondary anemia; long-term tumor consumption can cause weight loss, fever, cachexia, and other systemic failure symptoms.
