Abstract:Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant lung tumors. Its high recurrence rate and low survival rate are becoming more and more serious. Conventional methods, such as conventional surgery, radiochemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy, still have great limitations. Through years of clinical observation and practice, Professor Lao Changhui concludes that the key pathogenesis of occurrence and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma is “cold-dampness due to kidney deficiency”, and around this pathogenesis, he puts forward the basic treatment of “cultivating yuan, tonifying kidney, dispelling yin and cold” throughout the treatment process. With the intervention of course of disease and treatment, cancerous accumulation may turn toxic and heat, leading to the changes of pathogenesis of deficiency of both qi and yin and deficiency of both yin and yang. Therefore, “cultivating yuan, tonifying kidney, dispelling yin and cold” should be used throughout the treatment process. At the same time, according to the changes of course of disease and syndrome, it should be added and subtracted with syndrome. On the premise of taking care of healthy qi, it can be supplemented with less specialized anti-cancer drugs. This reflects the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine thinking of “people oriented, syndrome differentiation and treatment”.
