3. Yan Chen: Poor Chemotherapy Results for Brain Metastases from Lung Cancer

Q: The patient has brain metastases from lung cancer, and chemotherapy hasn’t been effective. Can drinking traditional Chinese medicine extend survival time?

A: Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, X-knife, gamma knife, and other treatments for brain metastases from lung cancer all have limited efficacy. This is a critical stage of advanced lung cancer. Some patients can achieve certain benefits by reducing intracranial pressure (using mannitol and dexamethasone) combined with traditional Chinese medicine, while others may see an extension of survival time.
