Patient's question:
Abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, went to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with pelvic cancer. Is pelvic cancer surgery required to have open surgery?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), TCM believes that cancer is caused by insufficient vital Qi, Qi stagnation, phlegm congealment, and blood stasis over time. TCM holds that the treatment of cancer should adhere to the principle of "softening hard masses and dispersing nodules." A report titled "Cancer Condition Control as the Main Focus" on media outlets such as China Daily, Sina News, and Sohu News mentions that certain Chinese herbal medicines are highly effective. They can disperse hard masses, prolong life, alleviate suffering, prevent recurrence and metastasis, and ultimately achieve "long-term survival with the tumor."
