Patient's question:
My father, who is 78 years old, was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer last week with a jaundice level of 215. He is currently undergoing liver protection treatment. I would like to use traditional Chinese medicine to assist in his. What effective traditional Chinese medicines are available for late-stage liver cancer?Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's condition, age, and physical constitution, it is recommended that the patient flexibly use traditional Chinese medicine targeted at tumor cell types for treatment. Initially, the focus should be on alleviating the decline in the patient's physical constitution and boosting immunity, thereby controlling tumor size and preventing the recurrence of cancer cells. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to lifestyle and dietary aspects, combining them to achieve more significant therapeutic effects. Additionally, for liver cancer patients, their dietary condition and care are also crucial during treatment. It is advisable to consume more light and easily digestible foods.
