The New Progress in Cancer Treatment
()
About this ebook
In 1985, the author followed up more than three thousand patients who had undergone the general surgical operation and thorax surgical operation. The results showed that most patients relapsed and metastasized within two to three years after surgery. Some patients even relapsed in a few months. This made me deeply realize that surgery is successful and standardized, but the long-term effect is not satisfied or that the long-term treatment is a failure.

Introduction to This Book
Bin Wu
All roads lead to Rome. Like some other things, there are many methods which can be used to treat Cancer. Cancer Immune therapy has been there for years. For instance, in the 1930s Willam Coley and their successors Coley Nauts treat the advanced cancer with Coley toxins
. More than 200 cases of various types of cancer patients can be analyzed, which more than 30 cases were cured, and life more than 30 years. In the early 1980s Guesada and others treated hairy cell leukemia with IFN-a, which actually made the treatment effective (complete remission /CR + PR/ partial remission) reach over 90%. In this book there are the complete animal and clinical experiments about our immune regulation and control cancer therapy. This book deeply and clearly described the new understanding about cancer characteristics and how our body responds to cancer. Based on all of these comprehensive understanding about cancer, we searched the new therapy: the rules are to protect our body immune function and to regulate and to control cancer by re-balance the host and cancer instead of only focusing on killing the cancer cells.
Many main concepts and ways were published more than 20 years ago. Why do we want to publish this book in English after almost 20 years of this original book was published in Chinese in 2000? After 20 years of the application and practice to verify our concepts and our medications and the improvement during our practice, we walked out one way of conquering the cancer and of prolonging our cancer patient life term and enhancing the life quality. We believe that many cancers can be controlled very well and be cured after we worked hard to take care of them and our treatment goal for the cancer patient is that the patients have good life quality and live as the long term as the average normal persons. How do we tell our new treatment make the cancer patients live longer than the others who were treated by other methods? We compared our 5-survival rates with other cancer therapy method’s five year survival rates. Many patients can live very well with the cancer after taking our medications. For the cure efficacy and malignancy degree, we don’t use the tumor size as the criteria because the big tumor doesn’t mean more malignant (maybe there are some degree of necrosis in the tumor center); the small tumor doesn’t mean less malignant. The patient can live with the cancer and the patient can go back to work and can act the normal life under our medications.
Eventually, it achieves: 1/3 can be cured, 1/3 can be prevented; 1/3 can live with tumor.
In this book we concluded many of the original data from our animals and clinical experimental applications of our new methods. We realized that our body immune function played great roles in protecting our body healthy situation and did completely animal experimental test to test our immune system function, especially two main immune organs: bone morrow and thymus. T-cell was named after Thymus because T-cell will become mature in Thymus. In this book, we found that cancer is the immune function decreasing disease and HIV is the immune function deficience disease, both of which are the immune function diseases.
How to bring back our immune function is the main issue which we searched for. First, we tried to transplant the fetal immune organs to the cancer animals which we found that in some of the cancer animals after transplanting the immune organs the cancers can be gone away. However, all of the fetal organs experiments were barred because of the law rules. Later we worked extremely hard to look for all of the anti-cancer medications from the natural plants. We found many of the good effective medications on the regulations and controlling immune functions for the cancer patients; in the mean while, we continued and repeated and reformed all of the effective medication during our more than 20 years of practice. After more than 30 years of the application, we are successful and confident on our regulation and controlling immune function medications to prevent and to treat the cancers.
In this book you can learn all of our new concepts and new way to control the cancers. That day I attended a lecture about T-cell at the HIV patient and learned many of researcher and hospital to use T-cell to treat cancer and to treat HIV patients, which all confirm our new immune concepts and ways to cure the cancer. Our new cancer theory works and benefits to our patients. Each medication is very stable and has great protection for our body. So far our medications do not have any toxic to our human body. Many of our patients can go back to work as the normal person. Once again, as the proverbs all roads can lead to Roman
. We found our ways to conquer the cancer. There will be the reason for anything to happen. Science is endless. We need to do more research to understand the reason for the diseases so that we can control them well and we can help the patients more and reduce their anxiety and make them live happier and longer.
In brief, our new treatment and new medications work very successfully for the cancer patients after more than decade applications. Our theory and concept of treatment work very well on regulating and controlling the cancers.
Finally, thank authorhouse press give us great help to publish this book internationally. This book was finished during such shortly several months and is full of many new knowledge and the innovative concepts so that maybe there are mistakes which we please can be forgiven for this and will also appreciate for any feedback.

Foreword
Since 1985, I have conducted interviews with more than 3,000 postoperative patients who have undergone chest and abdominal cancer surgery. The results showed that most of the patients had relapsed or metastasized within 2-3 years, and some of them even relapsed, transferred and died within a few months and one year after surgery. These patients are often who did not return to the original surgery center or hospital to follow up, but to the oncology department or cancer hospital for radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery. Through large-scale follow-up visits, I discovered an important issue: the postoperative recurrence and metastasis are the key factors affecting the long-term efficacy of surgery. So it also raised an important question for us: studying methods to prevent and to treat the postoperative recurrence and metastasis of cancer is the key to improving the long-term efficacy of surgery, which is the key to improving the postoperative survival period of patients. Therefore, the basic clinical research to prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer must be conducted. If there is no breakthrough in the basic research, the clinical efficacy will hardly increase. So we set up an experimental surgical laboratory, conducted experimental tumor research, implemented cancer cell transplantation, established a tumor animal model, and conducted a series of experimental tumor studies: exploring cancer recurrence, metastasis mechanisms and patterns; exploring the relationship between tumors and immune and immune organs and the relationship between immune organs and tumors; exploring methods for suppressing progressive atrophy of immune organs and reconstructing immune function when suppressing tumor progression; finding the effective measures to regulate cancer invasion, recurrence, and metastasis; for the 200 common anti-cancer herbal medications considered in literatures, it was carried out an experimental screening of the tumor inhibition rate in the solid tumor-bearing tumor animals; the experimental study of finding the new anti-cancer, anti-metastatic and anti-relapse drugs from the natural medications. Using modern science and technology did in-depth research and explored anti-cancer Chinese herbs. It has been undergone the rigorous, scientific, and repeatable screening experiments of the tumor inhibition rate in the tumor-bearing animal models in vivo for the traditionally considered anti-cancer Chinese herbal medications. After eliminating the effect of no stabilization, 48 kinds of Z-C immunomodulatory anti-cancer medications with good curative effect were screened out. It was applied to the clinical practice based on the success of animal experiments. After the clinical verification of a large number of clinical cases in 10 years, the curative effect is significant.
Through the experimental research and clinical practice, and combined with the review, analysis, evaluation, and self-reflection of traditional method clinical practice cases over the past half century, the positive and negative experiences and lessons of clinical practice in 44 years have been summarized. There are the following points of the new discoveries, the new thinkings, the new insights and the new treatment concepts.
First, the new discoveries
1. The discovery from the results of follow-up
1). The postoperative recurrence and metastasis are the key factors that affect the long-term outcome of surgery. Therefore, we also raised an important issue: that clinicians must pay attention to and study the prevention and treatment of postoperative recurrence and metastasis, in order to improve the long-term effect after surgery.2). The clinical basic research on recurrence and metastasis must be performed. If there is no breakthrough in basic research, the clinical efficacy will be difficult to improve.
2. The discovery from the experimental tumor research
A, the removal of Thymus(TH) can produce tumor-bearing animal models and the injection of immunosuppressive agents can also contribute to the establishment of tumor-bearing animal models. The conclusions of the study clearly demonstrated that there is a clear positive relationship between the occurrence and development of cancer and the immune organs TH of the host and the function of immune organs. Without cutting TH, it is difficult to make animal models. Repeatedly repeated experiments, all confirmed the experimental results.
B, whether it is first immune low and then easy to get cancer or cancer first and then immunocompromised, our experimental results are: first immune decreases and then easy to have the occurrence and development of cancer, if the innate immune function is not reduced, it is not easy to inoculate successfully. The results of this study suggest that improving and maintaining good immune function and protecting good immune organs Thymus is one of the important measures to prevent the occurrence of cancer.
C, in our laboratory when it was studied the relationship between cancer metastasis and immune function, the animal models for the establishment of liver metastases were divided into A and B groups. Immunosuppressants were used in group A and not in group B. As a result, the number of intrahepatic metastases in group A was significantly greater than that in group B. The results of this experiment suggest that metastasis is associated with immune function, that is, immunocompromised or immunosuppressive agents may promote tumour metastasis.
D, When our laboratory examined the effects of tumors on immune organs of the body, it was found that as the cancer progressed, TH showed progressive atrophy. After the inoculation of cancer cells, the host’s Thymus showed an acute progressive atrophy, impaired cell proliferation, and significantly reduced body size. The results of this experiment suggest that tumors inhibit TH and cause atrophy of immune organs.
E, Through the experiments, we also found that: some experimental mice were not inoculated, or the tumor grew very small, then TH did not shrink significantly. In order to understand the relationship between tumor and TH atrophy, we experimented in a group of rats the transplanted solid tumor grew to the size of the thumb and was removed. After 1 month of dissection, it was found that TH did not undergo progressive atrophy. Therefore, we speculated that it is possible that solid tumors will produce a factor that is not yet known to suppress TH, and it needs to be further studied.
F, The above experimental results prove: the progress of the tumor, even if Thymus progressively shrinks, can we use some methods to prevent the shrinking of the host Thymus? Therefore, we further designed and tried to use this immune organ cell transplantation to restore experimental studies of the immune organ function. In our laboratory, we investigated the atrophy of the immune organs TH when suppressing the progression of tumors, looking for ways to restore TH function and making immune reconstitution, and using mice to carry out experimental studies on the immune function of fetal liver and spleen and thymocytes transplanted with adoptive immune system. The results showed that: S, T, and L cells were combined and transplanted.
The recent rate of complete regression of tumors was 40%, and the rate of complete regression of long-term tumors was 46.67%. Complete regression of tumors resulted in long-term survival.
G, When we examined the effects of tumors on the spleen of immune organs in the body, we found that the spleen has an inhibitory effect on tumor growth in the early stage of the tumor, and in the late stage of the tumor, the spleen also showed progressive atrophy. The results of this study suggest that the spleen has an effect on tumor growth, has a certain inhibitory effect in the early stage, and loses its inhibitory effect in the late stage. Transplantation of spleen cells can enhance tumor suppression.
H, Follow-up results suggest that control of metastasis is the key to cancer treatment. At present, it is known that there are many steps and links in cancer cell metastasis. In order to try to block one of the steps to prevent its metastasis, we consider that tumor neovascularization is one of the steps in whether cancer metastasis can take place by metastatic cancer cells. In 1986, our laboratory was carrying out microcirculation research. Microcirculation microscopy was used to observe the microvessel formation status and flow velocity of tumor nodules in transplanted cancer-bearing mice. Later, we designed anti-tumor angiogenesis drugs from natural medications. Olympus microcirculation micrography system was used to observe the process of neovascularization and to count the flow rate of arterioles and venules. The acetylcholine extract (TG) was also identified from Chinese herbal medicine. As a result, it was found that there was no neovascularization on the 1st day of inoculation, and on the 2nd day, fine neovascularization was observed. TG can reduce the density of neonatal microvessels in tumors.
I, We also found in the large number of tumor-bearing animal models in the laboratory that the solid tumors inoculated subcutaneously in some cancer-bearing mice grew bigger, and then there are the more different between the central cancerous tissue of solid tumors and the surrounding cancer cells. In the center of tumor is more for sterile necrosis or liquefaction, the surrounding is still active cancer cells. Therefore, in the clinical treatment work, we adopted measures to treat aseptic necrosis.
3. Searching for anti-cancer and anti-metastatic drugs in natural medications (TCM)
In our experimental work, our laboratory has conducted a long-term, batch-by-batch review of 200 tumor-bearing animals in the tumor-bearing animal that were traditionally considered to be anti-cancer herbs.
It was found that only 48 of them had certain or even better inhibitory effects on the proliferation of cancer cells. After optimized combination, and then by liver cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and other cancer-bearing animal models in vivo tumor inhibition experiments, composed of XZ-C 1-10 capsules, XZ-C 1 can significantly inhibit cancer cells, but does not affect normal cells, XZ-C4 protects Thymus and improves immune function, XZ-C8 can protect the bone marrow and improve blood, XZ-C immune regulation of traditional Chinese medications can improve the quality of life of people with advanced cancer, increase immune function, enhance physical fitness, increase appetite, and prolong survival.
4. Through the review of cases from clinical medical practice, the analysis, evaluation and reflection of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy cases, it was found that 1, some patients failed to prevent recurrence after adjuvant chemotherapy; 2, in some patients it did not prevent metastasis after adjuvant chemotherapy; 3, in some patients Chemotherapy promotes immune failure.
5. The Analysis and Reflections of Clinical Practice Cases of why Patients’ Postoperative Chemotherapy Fails to Prevent the Recurrence and Metastasis of Cancer
From the analyze and reflect on the role of chemotherapeutic drugs in the cycle of cancer cells; from the analyze and reflect on the inhibition of the overall immune function of chemotherapeutic drugs; from the analyze and reflect on the drug resistance of chemotherapy drugs it was found that: 1. There are still some important misunderstandings in current chemotherapy; 2. There are still some major contradictions in current chemotherapy, which needs further study and improvement.
Second, to update thinking and to update understanding
Through 7 years of experimental observation in the cancer-bearing animals and the diagnosis and treatment in more than 6,000 cases in specialist out-patient clinics over the past 6 years, we have reviewed, analyzed, evaluated and self-reflected and summarized the positive and negative experiences and lessons of success and failure. Think about why traditional therapies do not significantly reduce mortality and Why the recurrence and metastasis were not controlled? What the problems with the traditional concept of traditional therapy are? I gradually realized that there may be some weak points in the current traditional cancer therapies such as:
1, The traditional chemotherapy suppresses immune function and inhibits bone marrow hematopoiesis;
2, The traditional intravenous chemotherapy is intermittent therapy, which cannot be treated during the interval. In the intermittent period, cancer cells continue to proliferate and divide;
3, The traditional treatments damage the host because chemotherapy cytotoxic drugs are double-edged swords
that kill both cancer cells and normal cells;
4, The goal of traditional therapies is to focus on that chemotherapy can kill cancer cells and ignore the host’s resistance and restriction to cancer, because the occurrence and development of tumors depends on the level of host immune function and the biological characteristics of the tumor itself, that is, it depends on the comparison between the biological characteristics of tumor cells and the influence of the host on the constraint factors. If the two are balanced, they are controlled, and if the two are out of balance, they are progressing. Traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy are all to promote the decline of immune function, which may make the two conditions more imbalanced;
5, The traditional treatment damages the central immune system. Thymus has been suppressed during cancer. And chemotherapy also suppresses bone marrow, which is more like snow adds frost and it is worst.
Damage to the entire central immune system has not been effectively protected;
6, The traditional therapy is the injury therapy, which has a certain impact on the patient’s resistance to disease, but it has not been effectively protected;
7, The traditional treatments ignore the human body’s ability to fight cancer and ignore the role of anti-cancer cells in the host’s body (NK cell population, K cell population, LAK cell population, macrophage population, TK cell population). The role of the anti-cancer factor system IFN, IL-2, TNF, LT in the host body is neglected. It is gnoring the role of tumor suppressor genes and tumor suppressor genes in the host (human body has oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, as well as cancer metastasis genes and tumor suppressor metastatic genes), and neglecting the role of the neurohumoral system and endocrine hormones in the host and ignoring the role of anti-cancer institutions and their influencing factors in the human body, as well as their role in regulating, balancing, and stabilizing the host’s body against cancer, ignoring the intrinsic factors of the body’s own anti-cancer activity that have not been activated or mobilized, but only kill cancer cells blindly.
8, The goal of traditional therapies is simpler, just kill cancer cells. Not all of them meet the actual conditions of the biological characteristics of cancers that are recognized today such as cancer cell invasiving behavior; metastatic links and multiple steps; the incentives for recurrence, latent months or lurking for several months and recurrence or relapsing in a few years. At present, people have realized that antineoplastic agents are not necessarily anti-metastatic and anti-metastatic agents are not necessarily antitumor.
Since there are the aforementioned problems, it is necessary to further study. While continuing to improve traditional therapies in accordance with
