Currently, the two main recognized methods for treating cancer are surgery and pharmacotherapy, including radiotherapy.
Surgery is only possible in the early stages of cancer, and some cancers cannot be operated on, even in the early stages.
Pharmacotherapy mainly involves chemotherapy, but there are better treatment drugs on the market now, known as targeted drugs. However, the use of targeted drugs is costly, and they can only address specific therapeutic targets. These include EGFR gene sensitive mutations, Oke gene fusion, HER-2 gene amplification, etc.
In addition, there are cancer immunotherapies under research that are designed to transform T cells into super soldiers.
These have a better prospect than targeted drugs and represent a more advanced treatment direction.
Targeted drugs adhere to the Western medical treatment philosophy, whereas cancer immunotherapies are a newly developed cancer treatment philosophy that combines Chinese immunology and Western medicine.
