Clinical experience of ZOU Yang in treating colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of malignant tumors which are common in the digestive system,and its morbidity and mortality are second only to lung cancer,liver cancer,and stomach cancer,which seriously threatens people's health.Modern medical treatment is mainly based on surgery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and the treatment effect on middle and advanced colorectal cancer is poor,it is easy to progress and relapse,and the acceptance of patients is low.In the treatment of colorectal cancer,traditional Chinese medicine gives full play to its characteristics of holistic treatment,with unique advantages of small adverse reactions,which can greatly prolong the survival period and promote the quality of life of patients.Professor ZOU Yang believes that although colorectal cancer is located in the intestine,it is closely related to the liver,spleen,stomach,kidney and other viscera.Due to the abnormal metabolism of Qi(气),blood,and body fluid,and the cemen-tation of phlegm toxicity,dampness toxicity,heat toxicity,blood stasis toxicity,and other pathological factors,the visible and solid evil lingers in the intestine,resulting in conduction dysplasia of the large intestine,and the accumulation over time leads to cancer in the intestine.The disease is characterized by asthenia in origin and sthenia in superficiality,and clinical syndromes of downward flow of dampness-heat,stasis internal obstruction,spleen-kidney Yang(阳)deficiency and liver-kidney Yin(阴)deficiency are common.Professor ZOU Yang advocates phased treat-ment,according to the principle of"treating both symptoms and root causes of the disease,symptomatic treatment in acute condition,radical treat-ment in chronic case,and paying attention to both symptoms and root causes",eliminating pathogenic factors without harming the healthy Qi,and supporting the healthy Qi without helping pathogenic factors,which has a remarkable effect in slowing down the drug toxicity and improving the physical quality of patients.In the early stage,it is mainly to promote the spleen and stomach for supplementing Qi and reinforcing healthy Qi,and in the middle and late stage,it is necessary to warm the spleen and kidney,clear dampness to detoxify and eliminate cancer.The author introduces Professor ZOU Yang's experience in treating colorectal cancer from the aspects of TCM etiology,TCM pathogenesis,clinical characteristics,dif-ferential treatment,and case presentation,with one medical case as evidence.
