The maintenance therapy is valued with the development of modern chemotherapy in cancer treatment
but there are still some defects such as side effects
over-treatment and high costs. Chinese medicine has advantages in stabling the tumor
preventing recurrence
and improving long-term survival. Dr. PIAO Bingkui has developed Feiliuping I Formula and Feiliuping II Formula for the maintenance treatment of lung cancer with qi-supplementing yin-nourishing lung-clearing method
phlegm-transforming
stasis-dispelling and bind-dissipating method and heatclearing
toxin-resolving and network vessels-freeing method based on traditional Chinese medicine pattern identification.
