Ms. Wang, a 77-year-old female patient with lung adenocarcinoma from Hebi City, Henan Province, was treated at Jiaozuo Zhonghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Oncology Hospital. At an age when she should have been enjoying a peaceful retirement, Ms. Wang instead suffered from a persistent cough for more than half a month. Her symptoms did not improve with treatment, and further examinations led to the unfortunate diagnosis: right lung adenocarcinoma.
Considering her advanced age, her children worried that she would not be able to tolerate surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy, and ultimately decided to pursue conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Her three daughters consulted many friends and other cancer patients, carefully evaluating the feedback on different treatment approaches. Based on the positive responses they heard about our hospital, they made the decision to bring Ms. Wang to our hospital for consultation and treatment. On January 9, 2025, accompanied by her daughters and son-in-law, she arrived at our hospital seeking TCM care.
Upon her initial visit, Ms. Wang presented with occasional coughing, white phlegm, and noticeable fatigue, although her appetite, bowel and bladder functions, and sleep were relatively normal.
After a thorough evaluation of her condition, our hospital’s expert team formulated a personalized treatment plan: an empirical TCM formula for lung tumors (adjusted according to her symptoms) combined with Hua’ai Xiaoliu Powder (Anti-Cancer Tumor-Eliminating Powder), along with the targeted medication Iressa (gefitinib). Guided by the principles of TCM syndrome differentiation, the treatment aimed to strengthen the body’s vital qi, enhance resistance to disease, resolve phlegm, relieve cough, clear heat, and detoxify, thereby improving her overall condition.
After just 8 days of treatment, Ms. Wang’s cough had significantly reduced, the amount of white phlegm had decreased, and her fatigue had improved. She continued the treatment for 25 days, completing 25 doses of the herbal formula and taking Iressa for more than 10 days. By this time, her cough had almost disappeared, the excessive white sticky phlegm had decreased further, her energy levels had improved, and her appetite, bowel and bladder functions, and sleep remained good.
Finally, after completing two full courses of treatment, a follow-up CT scan showed the remarkable result: the tumor in Ms. Wang’s body had completely disappeared.
