Patient's question:
With pelvic cancer, sometimes vomiting may occur, and it has been about a month since taking the medication. At first, the dosage was relatively light. I would like to ask if it is necessary to have follow-up examinations after early-stage pelvic cancer surgery?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 "lumps and masses." The treatment primarily involves the combined use of herbs that promote blood circulation, eliminate lumps, and relieve pain, such as 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, Bai Zhu, and She Cao, should be added to the treatment for a comprehensive approach.
