At present, it is considered that malignant tumor is a systemic disease, and comprehensive treatment is one of the most effective methods for patients in the middle and late stage. Comprehensive treatment includes chemotherapy, immunotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and symptomatic support treatment.
