Breast cancer, one of the malignant neoplasms with a high incidence among women, places a heavy burden on many patients and their families. In the area of breast cancer treatment, the combination of Chinese and western medicine is gradually showing unique advantages and giving patients more hope.
Western medicine has a more mature system for breast cancer treatment. Surgery can directly remove tumour tissues, and for early breast cancer patients, breast-pumping is carried out in such a way as to preserve, to the extent possible, the appearance and function of the breast and to improve the quality of life of the patient, while improved root therapy for breast cancer is more focused on the complete elimination of the tumor and reduces the risk of relapse. By using chemical drugs to kill or inhibit the growth of cancer cells, chemotherapy can reduce the size of the tumor before the operation, give patients who could not otherwise be operated on an operation, and also eliminate residual cancer cells and prevent relapse and transfer after the operation. It uses high-energy rays to damage the DNA structure of cancer cells, to strike local tumours with precision, and is often used for post-operative assistive treatment or palliative care for late breast cancer. Target therapy is targeted at specific molecular targets for cancer cells, such as HeR-2 positive breast cancer patients, who use anti-HER-2 drug, which is more accurately active in cancer cells, with significant and relatively small side effects.
The role of Chinese medicine in the treatment of breast cancer is not negligible. Chinese doctors consider that the incidence of breast cancer is linked to factors such as physical insufficiency, intoxication and lack of love. In treatment, attention is given to a holistic approach that enhances the resilience of the body by adjusting the body ‘ s balance of the sun and blood. For example, some of the antithermal antidotes in Chinese medicine, such as a half-loan, a white snake tongue, etc., have a certain anti-cancer effect; the positive-condensed drugs, such as yellow tungsten, party membership, and tungsten, can increase the patient’s immunity and mitigate the adverse effects of the release of chemotherapy. The acupuncture therapy of the Chinese doctor, with needles in a given lair, can alleviate post-operative pain and oedema of breast cancer, regulate the gastrointestinal function and improve the health of the patient.
The combination of treatment of breast cancer in western and central medicine has many advantages. First, there is a strong case for reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. While killing cancer cells, chemotherapy can also damage normal human cells, leading to adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss and bone marrow suppression. These symptoms of discomfort can be effectively mitigated by the treatment of the Chinese doctor ‘ s s spleen and stomach and blood. For example, the use of Chinese pharmacists for the management of spleen and stomach functions enhances the appetite of patients and enables them to be more resistant to chemotherapy; the use of Chinese pharmacists for renal meds helps to increase the number of white cells and reduce bone marrow inhibition.
Second, the combination of central and western medicine has helped to improve patients ‘ immunity. Western medicine reduces the immune function to a certain extent, while Chinese medicine’s proxies enhance the immunocyte activity of the organism, regulate the distribution of immune factors and keep patients in a better state of immunisation during treatment, not only to facilitate successful completion of treatment but also to reduce the risk of relapse and diversion.
Moreover, the integration of western and central medicine has had a significant impact in improving the quality of life of patients. Breast cancer patients often face double physical and psychological suffering in the course of their illness and treatment. Rehabilitative physiotherapy in Chinese medicine, such as incubation, acupuncture, and the combination of mental guidance and nutritional support, can alleviate the symptoms of fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, etc., and increase the self-reliance and psychological comfort of the patient and enable the patient to maintain a relatively good state of life during treatment.
In addition, in the case of late-stage breast cancer patients, Central and Western medicine combines to provide more comprehensive treatment. Western medical palliative care focuses mainly on the alleviation of symptoms and the extension of life, while Chinese medical care provides a holistic approach to the physical functioning of patients, increases their resilience to disease, to some extent slows progress, improves the quality of their survival and makes them more dignified for a limited period of time.
Combining treatment of breast cancer with Western and Central medicine is a comprehensive, comprehensive and individualized treatment model, which makes it possible to take full advantage of Western medical precision and holistic management, thus opening a wider path to the treatment and rehabilitation of breast cancer patients. Patients should actively communicate with doctors in the course of their treatment and develop appropriate combination-treatment programmes for Central and Western medicine according to their own circumstances in order to better combat the disease and move towards rehabilitation.
