How many times should advanced lung cancer be treated with chemotherapy

These cells and tissues are important immune defense systems of the human body. If they damage the immune system of the human body, the cancer cells may develop rapidly, leading to the aggravation of the disease and even shortening the life of patients. So when we treat lung cancer, we need to be very careful.

Third: chemotherapy has great toxic and side effects on the body. It can only eliminate the superficial tumor, but can not cure the tumor. It is suggested that the effect of pure natural Chinese herbal medicine is better than some. It has unique curative effect on advanced malignant tumor and small cell lung cancer, and is safe. It will not produce any harm and side effects on the body, reduce pain, prolong life and enhance the quality of life.

Can traditional Chinese medicine reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, enhance the anti-cancer effect, enhance the curative effect, promote the recovery of the body, enhance the immune function, prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells, and enhance the survival rate.
