Cancer is called carcinoma in Chinese medicine and is divided into early, middle and late stages. The essence of the disease is the deficiency of the body and the labeling of the body.
Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of internal organs and tissues, gradual enlargement of lumps, uneven surface, hard texture, pain from time to time, often accompanied by fever, fatigue, poor appetite, emaciation and progressive aggravation of the main symptoms. The basic mechanism is deficiency of positive energy, dysfunction of internal organs, stagnation of qi, phlegm and stagnation of toxins for a long time into a tangible mass.
In the early stage, the evil is predominantly solid, and the deficiency of positive energy is not obvious. In the middle stage, the deficiency of positive qi becomes more and more serious, the cancer mass increases in size and hardness, and the scope of invasion increases. In the late stage, positive decline is dominant, positive qi is eliminated, the scope of invasion by evil qi is extensive, or there is distant metastasis, showing a state of great emptiness and great solidity. The basic treatment principle is to support the positive and get rid of the evil (support the positive qi in the body and get rid of the evil qi in the body), and apply both attack and tonic.
Cancer should emphasize on prevention, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. Chinese medicine treatment of cancer has positive significance in improving curative effect, reducing toxic side effects, improving quality of life and prolonging survival period.
