Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for four consecutive months. Sometimes it's accompanied by blood clots, and at other times, I experience severe abdominal pain. The pain is radiating, and sometimes it's so intense that I can't straighten up. As a result, I went to the hospital for a check-up and discovered tumor cells. After further diagnosis, it was confirmed to be pelvic cancer. I'm very scared and want to know if pelvic cancer can be treated with radiation therapy if it has metastasized.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your physical condition permits, you can consider appropriate radiotherapy. However, since radiotherapy lacks the ability to distinguish, it needs to be repeated. After multiple sessions of radiotherapy, the patient's immune function declines, resistance decreases, and it becomes easier for the cancer to metastasize. It is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine in a timely manner during Western medicine treatment. There is no conflict between radiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine; on the contrary, they can complement each other, enhance efficacy while reducing the side effects of radiotherapy, suppress and eliminate tumors, thereby achieving better therapeutic effects.
