Research progress and thinking of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pulmonary nodules
With the popularization of early cancer screening and physical examination,the detection rate of pulmonary nodules is increasing.At present,the treatment of pulmonary nodules is mainly surgical resection or regular follow-up.Because its mechanism has not yet been elucidated,there is no better treatment currently available.Especially for patients without clinical indications for surgery,regular follow-up observation will increase the anxiety and fear of some patients.Perhaps,this stage may become an excellent period for Chinese medicine to intervene.At the same time,the existing clinical evidence shows that traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has a certain effect in the prevention and treatment of pulmonary nodules,such as promoting the disappearance or reduction of nodules,preventing malignant transformation of nodules,or relieving clinical symptoms.By searching related literature on the treatment of pulmonary nodules with TCM in the past 20 years,this paper summarize its etiology and pathogenesis,syndrome differentiation and treatment,and experience medication,and at the same time give a thought and outlook to the current situation.In order to provide relevant theoretical guidance for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary nodules with TCM,it also provides TCM wisdom for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary nodules.
