Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to the technical field of the treatment of intermediate and advanced stage and postoperative malignant tumor, in particular to a strengthening and tumor eliminating traditional Chinese medicine composition, its preparation method and application.


BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

Tumor includes benign tumor and malignant tumor, while cancer generally refers to malignant tumor. The malignant tumor from epithelial tissue is called cancer, and the malignant tumor from mesenchymal tissue is called sarcoma; the former is easily metastasized through lymph nodes, while the latter mostly spreads through blood circulation. From the perspective of world share, China has a high proportion of cancer patients, and cancer has become one of the main causes of death in China, which has caused a huge and heavy burden on China's social economy. At present, the main treatments of cancer include medical treatment, surgical treatment, radiation therapy and so on. The treatments of modern medicine have the characteristics of attaching importance to the local control of tumor, having strong killing power to the tumor cells of cancer and being able to better control the local tumor body. However, they neglect the function adjustment of the whole body, which is easy to lead to over treatment of cancer. As a result, the body function of patients is often damaged and the quality of life is reduced; in addition, intermediate and advanced stage cancer patients lack of surgical indications, and radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy do great harm to the physical condition of patients.


Chinese medicine also has some understanding of tumor. According to The Yellow Emperors Internal Classic, the earliest medical classic in China, tumor is caused by “obstructed circulation of nutrient Qi and defensive Qi”, “cold Qi stays outside the intestine and fights with defensive Qi” and “pathogenic Qi stays among it”. Traditional Chinese medicine still has a unique position and role in modern oncology. The treatment of malignant tumor with traditional Chinese medicine has three characteristics: effectiveness, diversity and persistence, which are reflected in the individualization of syndrome differentiation and treatment; multiple active ingredients and multiple target functioning; eliminating pathogenic factors without hurting the body and strengthening the body without leaving pathogenic factors; lasting curative effect; being non-toxic or low toxic; being suitable for long-term treatment. Western medicine has a good effect in killing tumor cells, controlling local tumor body and cancer pain; traditional Chinese medicine can develop prescriptions and apply medicines based on syndrome differentiation and treatment with less adverse reactions, which can reduce the symptoms of patients, so that the patients in advanced stage who cannot treated by western medicine can achieve “survival with tumor”, and can also reduce the adverse reactions caused by western medicine treatment; the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, the combination of external and internal therapy, the combination of strengthening the body and eliminating pathogenic factors, and the better treatment of cancer, is the research field of the treatment of intermediate and advanced stage and postoperative malignant tumor.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
