Correlation between Circulating Tumor Cells and Recurrence-Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer based on the Theory of Latent Pathogens
There is a certain correlation and interaction between circulating tumor cells and recurrence-metastasis of colorectal cancer.The circulating tumor cells hidden in the human body can lead to the recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer,and the recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer can in turn cause a sharp increase in the number of circulating tumor cells,which is consistent with the characteristics of latent pathogens in traditional Chinese medicine leading to diseases.Starting from the theory of latent pathogens,this article summarized the etiology and disease mechanism of recurrence-metastasis of colorectal cancer as harmed healthy qi,latent pathogenic qi,prolonged latent pathogens,and triggering healthy qi deficiency.This article also proposes four major treatment methods as rein-forcing healthy qi,assisting yang,opening the exterior,and expelling pathogen,in order to provide ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer.
