Question
For patients with neurofibroma, is it possible to consider traditional Chinese medicine treatment if they are unwilling to undergo surgical treatment? Parents are concerned and hope to understand if there are other treatment options available.
Answer
Neurofibroma is a condition that is typically recommended for surgical treatment after diagnosis due to the possibility of recurrence. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can only be used as an auxiliary method and is not included in the current standard treatment protocols. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine is not suitable for the treatment of such diseases. Since there are many types of neurofibromas with varying locations and development situations, the treatment plans also differ. It is advisable to discuss with the attending physician to assess whether conservative treatment is necessary.
