A discussion on lung cancer from the theory of the congenital and the postnatal factors
In traditional Chinese medicine,lung cancer is a kind of disease,with complex changes in the condition,is difficult to cure and has a poor prognosis.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence and development of lung cancer are due to healthy Qi(气)deficiency,which is the root cause.What causes deficiency of Qi,blood and Yin(阴)and Yang(阳)?There are different understandings in ancient Chinese medicine books.Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,clinical work,and modem medicine,the author believes that there are two main reasons for the healthy Qi deficiency:congenital deficiency,which is due to the kidney;postnatal deficiency,which is due to the spleen and stomach.The author believes that the occurrence,development and therapeutic effect of lung cancer are closely related to congenital kidney and postnatal spleen.This paper expounds the relationship between lung cancer and the congenital and the postnatal factors from the perspective of the relationship between lung cancer and congenital deficiency,the relationship between lung cancer and postnatal deficiency,the change of TCM syndrome caused by current anti-cancer treatment and its clinical application.Most clinicians pay more attention to the changes of the syndromes of Qi,blood,phlegm and blood stasis in treatment,or use the same treatment methods,while ignoring the impact of deficiency on the occurrence,development and prognosis of the disease,especially the transformation that occurs with the treatment and progression of the disease in the course of anti-tumor treatment.The author believes that after radiotherapy and chemotherapy,spleen-kidney deficiency is the main cause,and the body's healthy Qi deficiency affects the body's Yin and Yang,and Qi and blood,resulting in changes in patients'conditions.Therefore,the treatment of lung cancer can not be static,but should focus on the changes in the patients'symptoms and physical changes before and after treatment,combined with traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment.In the treatment process,it is needed to grasp the root of the treatment--healthy Qi deficiency,that is,the congenital kidney and the postnatal spleen and stomach,if the kidney essence is full,the spleen Qi will function normally,and better results will be achieved.In short,the paper discusses the etiology,pathogenesis and treatment of lung cancer in traditional Chinese medicine through the impact of physiological and pathological changes in the spleen and kidney on lung cancer,in order to better apply it in clinical work of traditional Chinese medicine.
