Discussion on the diagnosis and treatment of advanced liver cancer based on the concept of the unity of body and spirit
The concept of the unity between the body and the Shen(神)comes from the simple ancient philosophical thought of China,and the two are rooted in each other,interdependent and mutually influential.The body is sick,and the heart is sad.Restlessness and physical loss.The concept of the unity between the body and the Shen is of great significance in the occurrence and development of liver cancer.Ancient physicians believed that the syndrome of liver cancer was a false reality.Liver cancer is mostly caused by the deficiency of righteous Qi(气)in the human body,the disharmony of Yin(阴)and Yang(阳),and the long-term emotional discomfort,resulting liver loss its smoothly moving state,liver stagnafion,liver depressed Qi stagnation,deficiency of body fluid,Gathering dampness turn into phlegm,Qi stagnafion phlegm condense,blockage of meridians,Liver and spleen injury,Qi movement stagnation,liver depression turn into fire,intravenous stop blood stasis,heat poison and dampness,and gradual accumulation.Clinically,in early stage liver cancer,surgical methods are mostly used to remove the mass,and the patient has a short illness time,mild disease,and can return to normal life quickly after surgery,and the psychological burden is lighter.However,in the middle and advanced stages of liver cancer,adjuvant chemoradiotherapy,targeted therapy,immunotherapy,etc.are often required after surgery,and the treatment cycle is long and the pressure increases sharply,which can easily cause emotional imbalance and induce a series of clinical symptoms.It can be seen that long-term emotional imbalance and depression not only enhance the susceptibility to malignant tumors,promote the occurrence and development of malignant tumors,but also promote tumor angiogenesis and accelerate tumor metastasis.Under the leading idea of the unity between the body and the Shen and strengthening the spleen and relieving depression by Shen,combined with emotional counseling,the body and emotional peace can be adjusted,the survival period can be prolonged as much as possible,the quality of life can be improved,and the effect of twice the result with half the effort is achieved through drugs such as strengthening the spleen and relieving depression and dispersing depression.
