Malignant tumor is a great threat to human health and life after cardiac and encephalon disease, which bring much pain and burden to social, families and patients self. So, the prevention and treating of cancer are hot research field for both Chinese medicine and Western medicine. In Chinese, the word “tumor” appeared as early as 16th—11th century B.C. Ancient doctor described tumor as mass or something like stone because of their hardness, and they could kill people quickly. These conform to modern recognition.
TCM believe that cancer is caused by heat poison, phlegm, qi stagnation, blood stasis, etc. But first of all, patient’s qi is dysfunction, which means bad immunity. For qi is insufficient, the outside poisonous factors can easily invade body and stay inside, ruining body continuously, years after years, it triggers serially changing of body, causing phlegm, blood stasis and qi stagnation. They accumulate together and form mass. On the other hand, insufficient of qi can make qi stagnating, blood stasis, and fluid stopping run, all these would let the outside poisonous factors can easily invade body and stay inside. In a word, they can affect each other. When the mass form and our immunity system can not recognize and clear it, it would turn into cancer at last. When this happen, the mass like worms multiplying itself at a fantasy speed, consuming large number of energy and nutrition, destroying organs and tissues, and immigrating to other parts of body far from its originating place, or growing like grass in spring after we kill it, and at last it snatches away the life. The diagnosis of cancer is usually according to symptoms, examination, especially imagination evidence, but pathology is the golden standard. Some cancer’s therapy are related with the types of pathology, while some are not, but once the diagnosis are confirmed, action should be taken.
Tumor increased quickly in the early of nineteen century, and at that time, oncology was formed. Later, cancer became the first death cause of in the western. WHO predicted that tumor would still increase in 2025.  The effectiveness of medicine have carried to a new and higher level by scientists effort, and now we have more and more choices, but, there are often side effect and poisonous. Chinese herb is also strong and good method to treat cancer. It can not only kill cancer cells, but also decrease side effect and poisonous caused by western medicine. It has been proved years and years.
Chinese has explored ways for cancer with herbs for many years. First we tried single herb or single formula, but most of them had little effective, although some of them could take effective on laboratory, then we diagnose and treat based on an overall analysis of signs and symptoms, and we began to found this work well. According TCM theory, there are about seven method, eliminating heat and toxin, promoting diuresis and resolving dampness, qi regulating and invigorating blood, phlegm resolving and soften hardness, disperse mass, killing worms, restoratives, etc. We don’t use one method for one patient along, but change formulas according the disease progress. Only this conforms to the principle of TCM. When we followed this, the survival rate went up. Now we have done lots of research of herbs with modern scientific technology, and in combination with modern medicine, we learn more and more the mechanism of herbs treating cancer. It is complex and has multi effect on body. Some of them can enhance our immunity system, some of them can improve our blood vessel, some of them can kill cancer cell directly, protect marrow and elevate its function, and prevent gene from mutating and stop cancer from happening. We believe, in the future, we would have more success on this work and bring more hope to patients.
