Experience of HE Yongheng in treating radiation-induced intestinal injury based on the theory of"collateral disease"
As a common complication following radiotherapy for abdominal and pelvic malignant tumors,radiation-induced intestinal injury(RII)lacks effective treatment methods in modern medicine.In recent years,the advantages of Chinese medicine in treating this disease have gradually become prominent.Professor HE Yongheng has been engaged in clinical research on the prevention and treatment of colorectal diseases with integrated Chinese and Western medicine for more than 30 years,and has extensive experience in treating RII.Professor HE,guided by the theory of"collateral disease",treats RII from the perspectives of"toxicity,blood stasis,and deficiency",emphasizing that the treatment of this disease should be based on the principle of"unblocking".During the acute phase,the principle of"removing toxins and resolving blood stasis,harmonizing qi and blood"is followed,advocating a combined internal and external treatment approach.In the chronic remission phase,it is necessary to nourish and strengthen the spleen and kidney,incorporating unblocking within tonification,and emphasizing the important role of accelerating intestinal function recovery in the treatment of the disease.This paper has summarized Professor HE Yongheng's experience in treating RII,providing reference for the prevention and treatment of this disease with Chinese medicine.
