The strategy of prevention and treatment of"inflammation-cancer"transformation in ulcerative colitis using traditional Chinese medicine
Ulcerative colitis(UC)associated colorectal cancer(CAC)is caused by recurrent episodes of this disease.The key pathogenesis of UC's transformation from inflammation to cancer is the lingering and recurrent course of the disease,the transformation of syndromes from deficiency to excess,the retention of dampness and heat,and the transformation of pathogenic toxins.Therefore,it is important to construct a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)strategy for the prevention and treatment of UCs"inflammation-cancer"transformation.We pro-pose to attach the importance of the management of chronic disease,and implement full process intervention;grasp the changes in the pathogenesis,and the key links;pay attention to the combination of disease and syn-drome,and achieve precise intervention;clarify the mechanism of action,and improve the efficacy.It may provide an example for preventing the transformation from UC to cancer.
