The use of traditional Chinese medicine to manage the side effects of chemotherapy in lung cancer is highly beneficial, primarily serving the following purposes:

1. Alleviating chemotherapy side effects. During lung cancer treatment, chemotherapy—regardless of the regimen—often induces side effects. Depending on the individual’s tolerance, these may include gastrointestinal reactions, bone marrow suppression, liver function impairment, among others, with varying clinical presentations. Traditional Chinese medicine plays a significant role in helping patients overcome the side effects of chemotherapy;

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine can increase the sensitivity to chemotherapy, enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy in eliminating tumors;

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine can protect the patient's immune function from harm. When the patient's immune function is safeguarded, the likelihood of future recurrence and metastasis is reduced.
