Deficiency of both spleen and kidney is the key pathogenesis of intestinal cancer. Local dampness, toxin and blood stasis are the pathological basis of its occurrence and development.
Damp pathogen trapped spleen, food injury to spleen and liver depression with spleen can all lead to spleen deficiency, stagnation of damp pathogen, stagnation and accumulation of heat and toxin.
At the same time, the local meridians and qi and blood are not running smoothly, blood stasis is blocked, damp-heat toxic pathogens are stuck together, or defecation is not smooth, and the fishy smell exists for a long time. The greater the toxicity, the cancer will eventually become.
Modern medicine believes that the occurrence of intestinal cancer is closely related to heredity, environmental pollution, diet structure and other factors, which is consistent with the view of combining internal and external aspects of traditional Chinese medicine.
A high-fat diet dominated by saturated fatty acids is prone to illness if the fiber in the food is insufficient. This paper explains the pathogenesis of intestinal cancer from the perspective of dietary regulation.
The incidence of colon cancer in patients with colon polyps is higher than that in normal people.
Patients with chronic bacillary dysentery, chronic amebic dysentery, ulcerative colitis and granuloma of Schistosoma japonicum also have a high incidence of colorectal cancer, indicating that malignant invasion of the local area is the pathological process.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the treatment of intestinal cancer needs to adhere to the diagnosis and treatment idea of syndrome differentiation first and combining disease differentiation.
Patients with early intestinal cancer are common in damp-heat and toxic blood stasis, and the corresponding treatment should focus on clearing away heat and dampness, detoxifying and removing blood stasis.
In late stage, after operation and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, deficiency of both yin and yang and deficiency of both qi and blood are the most common symptoms, and they are treated by nourishing yin, warming yang, benefiting qi and nourishing blood respectively, so as to strengthen the body resistance and consolidate the foundation.
The correspondence between prescription and syndrome is the core of syndrome differentiation and treatment of intestinal cancer. At the same time, according to the different stages and characteristics of the disease, the treatment of intestinal cancer is also focused.
