In June 2025, 36-year-old Qin from Wuzhi County, Jiaozuo, sought TCM treatment at Jiaozuo Zhonghai TCM Cancer Hospital for his worsening tongue cancer. Half a year ago, he was diagnosed with tongue squamous cell carcinoma via a biopsy at the Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University due to a persistent oral ulcer that failed to heal. Afterwards, he traveled to Shanxi and took Chinese herbal medicine for three months, yet the treatment yielded poor results: his tumor kept growing, pain intensified sharply, and his ability to speak, eat and sleep was severely impaired.
At the time of consultation, a cauliflower-like mass was visible on the right side of Mr. Qin’s tongue, accompanied by excruciating pain that even radiated to his right cheek and ear. This led to slurred speech, difficulty eating, extremely poor sleep quality, and left him emaciated and exhausted. Disheartened by the unsatisfactory effect of previous treatments, he had almost lost faith in any cure. It was not until he learned about the remarkable efficacy of Jiaozuo Zhonghai TCM Cancer Hospital in treating oral and maxillofacial tumors on Douyin that he decided to try the conservative TCM treatment here.
After a thorough assessment of Mr. Qin’s condition, Director Zhang of our hospital formulated a targeted treatment plan: an empirical TCM formula for tongue tumors, modified according to his specific symptoms, combined with Hua’ai Xiaoliu Powder.
To great surprise, only 10 days after the start of treatment, Mr. Qin’s condition improved remarkably: the cauliflower-like mass on his tongue shrank significantly; the excruciating pain vanished completely and no longer radiated to his cheek and ear; his diet returned to normal, allowing him to eat smoothly; he regained clear speech and could communicate without hindrance; his sleep quality improved drastically, and his mental state lifted noticeably. Mr. Qin said excitedly, "I used to be in so much pain that I couldn’t even eat a meal, and now I can finally live a normal life! I never expected TCM to work so well, and it’s even right here in our hometown Wuzhi—it’s so convenient!"
