Abstract:Pulmonary nodules are the main manifestation of early lung cancer, and modern medicine has formed its standardized management and intervention system, but there are still problems such as lack of intervention measures during the follow-up period. Traditional Chinese medicine has advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules. This paper proposes to establish a management and intervention system for pulmonary nodules with Traditional Chinese medicine characteristics, apply traditional Chinese medicine to the entire diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules, form a screening model combining imaging and constitution, construct a malignant risk prediction model with the participation of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes, adopt interventions combining the identification of constitution and syndromes as well as the internal and external treatments in the follow-up period, and set up a comprehensive platform for the networked management and intervention of traditional Chinese medicine in pulmonary nodules. Also, limitations such as the lack of standardization of the traditional Chinese medicine management and intervention protocol in pulmonary nodules, the gaps in the study of the time-pharmacodynamic effect, and the imperfect evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy are discussed.
