Question

A man, 80 years old, has been experiencing coughing, sputum, and blood in his sputum over the past two days. He also has chest tightness and pain. How can lung cancer be effectively treated?

Answer

Coughing and hemoptysis are common clinical symptoms of lung cancer. Patients in the middle and advanced stages often have missed the opportunity for surgery. Consider understanding and utilizing traditional Chinese medicine treatments to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, activate blood circulation to resolve stasis, and soften hard lumps to inhibit the expansion of cancerous tumors. This can alleviate symptoms such as coughing and hemoptysis, significantly improve quality of life, and maximize the extension of patients’ lives. For cancer patients, preventing the spread of the disease, extending life, and significantly improving quality of life are more important than anything else.
