Abstract:
Based on the concepts of "people-oriented" in traditional Chinese medicine and "tumor-suppression" in modern medicine, we have combed the studies on the spatial and temporal evolution of tumor metastasis and its biological characteristics in different perspectives, and initially proposed the theory of tumor metastasis from the perspective of the dynamic game between the tumor cells and the body's immune system under the theory of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, that is, the formation of metastasis is the result of the dynamic evolution of the cancer cells and their surrounding environmental factors in the body over time and space. It is believed that the symptomatic manifestation of metastasis is systematic, the triggering factors of metastasis are constant, and the clinical outcome of metastasis is staged. Accordingly, it is proposed to understand the mechanism of metastasis from the perspective of spatial and temporal dynamics, to establish a clinical and pathological model for identifying metastasis, and to reveal the critical point of metastasis, so as to facilitate the change of the research on tumor metastasis from static to dynamic, and provide ideas for the formulation of metastasis prevention and treatment strategies, and the construction of a new system of metastasis prevention and treatment in the clinical tumor field.
