Combined Chinese and Western medicine research of tumor

The Ministry of Health released the results of the third national survey on the cause of death, which shows that malignant tumors have become the first cause of death among urban residents in China, accounting for 25.0% of all deaths. At present, the number of new cancer cases in China is about 2.2 million per year, and the trend is increasing continuously. In Hubei Province, the number of new cancer cases is about 110,000 per year, the number of deaths is nearly 80,000 per year, and the number of current cases is about 250,000. In addition, lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer account for more than 80% of cancer deaths, and are the main cancers that Hubei Province will focus on preventing and treating in the future. At present, tumor occupies the second place among the causes of death in Hubei Province, and the first place among urban residents. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of tumors is a characteristic of China and is now also noted by the world medical community. It has been proved that within the last half century, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in tumor prevention and treatment is gradually going to the world, and has achieved promising results in theory, practice and drug development, which is a unique tumor treatment pathway in China. Combined Chinese and Western medicine oncology is a young discipline that is constantly improving in the experimental research and clinical exploration of Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis, treatment rules, comprehensive treatment, drug extraction and anti-cancer mechanism of malignant tumors. Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases by examining the overall macroscopic evidence and seeking the causes, identifying the symptoms seen clinically and the tongue and pulse to find out whether the yin, yang, qi and blood and the five organs are strong or weak and the clinical evidence of a certain disease (the evidence group of a certain disease process), and the clinical treatment is based on reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency, benefiting qi, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and helping to eliminate evil; Western medicine diagnoses anatomical sites, pathological types, cytology and molecular biology, imaging (ultrasound, thermogram, CT, MR, PET), proteomics, and the clinical treatment. PET), proteomics, monoclonal antibodies, and other objective indicators to observe the disease from a microscopic perspective. In this way, macroscopic and microscopic are taken into account, and disease identification is combined with evidence identification, so that the diagnosis, treatment plan design, and prognosis risk assessment of tumors reach a new level. The relationship between treatment of human and tumor, overall and local, and the idea of “co-existence of human and tumor” are reasonably handled, so that patients can receive reasonable comprehensive treatment to reduce pain, improve quality of life, prolong survival, and eliminate inappropriate treatment and over-treatment. The overall comprehensive treatment plan combines qualitative and quantitative, macroscopic and microscopic, human structure and function, dynamic and static, reflecting the law of tumor occurrence, development and regression in all aspects, and organically combining the reasonable connotation of Chinese medicine and Western medicine about tumor to form a new oncology model. The specific integration points that make the combination of Chinese and Western medicine on tumor include the following aspects: digging into the province’s folk prescriptions/single prescriptions, special treatment methods as well as Chinese medicine identification methods, using the evidence-based medicine model as a breakthrough, conducting multi-center, randomized controlled large-sample clinical studies, strictly formulating evaluation criteria and grouping indicators, verifying their role in tumor treatment, rehabilitation and prevention, etc., and screening and developing reasonable applications for tumor The research results of Chinese and Western medicine combined with tumor prevention and treatment are mainly based on the results of the study. At present, the research results of combining Chinese and Western medicine in tumor prevention and treatment mainly focus on the clinical field, and the idea of combining Chinese and Western medicine in tumor prevention and diagnosis has also been emphasized and achieved certain achievements.
