Cancer is one of the most difficult diseases to be
treated. It requires a combination of any therapies, which may
help. Cancer hospitals in China always use a combination of both
Western & Chinese Medicine to treat the cancers.
|
| The aim of cancer therapy is the
destruction of the tumour. WM is surgery, chemotherapy and
radiotherapy. As we know that cytotxic substances not only destroy
the tumour cell, they also affect our immune system. Recent
studies demonstrate that, even after maximum chemotherpay, still about
0.1% of rest tumour cells have survived. Therefore a high risk of
recurrence and metastases will exist for the ensuing 2 - 7 years. |
| Our immune system (well known as
T-cell, B-cell, NK-cell, Helper-cell, macrophages etc) can destroy these
remaining malignant cells. Therefore, boosting the immune system
will increase the chances of a successful therapy and the patient's
survival rate. |
