TCM diagnosis and opinions on lung cancer

TCM's understanding of lung cancer Lung cancer belongs to the category of "lung accumulation", "cough", "hemoptysis" and "chest pain" in TCM. The cause of lung cancer is external evils such as toxic evil, phlegm dampness and heat toxicity, which invade the lungs when the body's positive energy is weak, accumulate in the chest, and then form a mass.

The pathological changes of lung cancer in traditional Chinese medicine are that the positive energy is insufficient, the evil energy is in the airway, and the accumulation of evil energy is also formed. The evil toxins invade the lungs, stagnate in the chest, and the lung qi is depressed, and the descending and descending are dysfunctional. If the lung qi is deficient, the qi will stagnate and the blood will stagnate, and it will form a mass after a long time; if the spleen qi is deficient, the phlegm and dampness generated will condense with the external evil, and also form a mass; if the kidney qi is insufficient, the spleen cannot transport and transform, and the lung body fluid is lacking in source. If it encounters heat toxins, the body fluid will condense into phlegm, fight with qi and blood, and form a mass. If the mass invades the veins of the lungs in the airway, it will cause coughing, or illness, or blood, or even hemoptysis. If the evil accumulation increases, it blocks the airway, and the qi cannot flow smoothly, resulting in shortness of breath or suffocation. If the disease lasts for a long time, the evil accumulation increases sharply, the phlegm and dampness block the airway, and the toxic evil is even worse, which can cause fever, the lung qi will not be solid, and symptoms such as aversion to cold and sweating will appear. In short, this disease is caused by deficiency, and it is caused by deficiency. Deficiency is the root of the disease, and excess is the symptom of the disease.
