Can breast cancer be cured by traditional Chinese medicine

There are indeed records in Chinese medical cases and ancient books of purely applying Chinese medicine to cure breast cancer, but as far as the current medical situation is concerned, for breast cancer, in principle, surgery should be the first choice for treatment. But according to the current medical situation, in principle, surgery should be the first choice of treatment for breast cancer. Chinese medicine treatment is an important part of comprehensive treatment for breast cancer, and it can be supplemented with Chinese medicine according to the patient's situation in early, late and postoperative stages of breast cancer. In the early stage of breast cancer, liver depression and phlegm coagulation syndrome, Chong Ren disorder syndrome and Zhengxian deficiency and toxicity syndrome are most common. According to the different types of the syndrome, the treatment principles are also emphasized, e.g. liver depression and phlegm coagulation syndrome should be dredged up to relieve liver depression and resolve phlegm; Chong Ren disorder syndrome should be regulated to regulate the Chong Ren and regulate the Qi to dissipate the knot; Zhengxian deficiency and toxicity syndrome should be regulated to tonify the Qi and blood and remove heat and toxins; and in the late stage or postoperative stage, there are mostly qi and blood deficiencies, and weakness of spleen and stomach; those with qi and blood deficiencies should be tonified to tonify qi and blood and to calm down the mind. The weak spleen and stomach should strengthen the spleen and stomach.

Generally speaking, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a good effect on the treatment of advanced breast cancer or post-surgery patients, and it also has a certain effect of increasing the effectiveness and reducing the toxicity of radiotherapy, which can significantly prolong the life of patients or improve the quality of life of patients.

Therefore, Chinese medicine is effective in treating breast cancer, but surgery is still the first choice for breast cancer. Breast cancer patients should be treated mainly with surgery, supplemented by TCM treatment.
