Reflection on the Discipline Construction of Traditional Chinese Medicine Cardio-Oncology
Cardio-oncology is an emerging cross-discipline,which has received extensive attention and rapid development at home and abroad in recent years,while the construction of related disciplines in the field of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is still in its initial stage.By sorting out the construction of oncology and cardiology related disciplines at home and abroad at this stage,and clarifying the significance and main research contents of the disci-pline,it is proposed that the construction of TCM related disciplines should be oriented to the four main aspects,including clinical practice,scientific research,talent training and promotion of cultural characteristics.Therefore,actively carrying out multidisciplinary crossing,cultivating related professional talent team,and forming TCM diagno-sis and treatment guidelines or consensus to support clinical practice is the essential foundation for the construction of TCM cardio-oncology discipline.Meanwhile,fully exploring the characteristics and advantages of TCM is the key to the construction process of the discipline,such as writing and summarising and analysing relevant high-quality clini-cal case reports of TCM for evidence-based optimisation,as well as widely applying the concept of"treating disease before it arises"of TCM characteristics to the clinical prevention and treatment of the relevant diseases and scientific research,etc.,so as to comprehensively guarantee the development of the discipline of TCM cardio-oncology.
