Abstract:
This paper summarized the clinical experience of Professor LIU Shenlin in diagnosing and treating gastric cancer with the thinking of "prescription according to tendency". In this paper， the thinking of diagnosis and treatment for gastric cancer and medication skills were summarized into four dimensions： power， energy， chronology and situation. The diagnosis emphasizes the tendency of qi power， considering that the onset of gastric cancer primarily stems from the disorder of qi movement in zang-fu organs， and emphasizing the importance of regulating the liver and spleen qi to intercept the tendency of disease. It points out that dampness-phlegm-stasis-toxin is a crucial link leading to the metabolic imbalance of body energy， and Professor LIU adepts at using methods such as breaking up blood and expelling stasis， and clearing heat and resolving toxins to block the pathological chain reaction caused by energy imbalance and to restore the homeostasis of the organism. In the treatment process， according to the characteristics of gastric cancer staging and chronological evolution， we will explore the changes of the exuberance and weakness of healthy qi and pathogenic qi in the context of the chronologic tendency， and adjust the dosage of attacking and tonic medicines in different stages of the disease in order to balance and restore the body. The "situation" is in line with the state of consumptive disease in advanced gastric cancer， Professor LIU skillfully uses large doses of Huangqi （Astragalus mongholicus） with flexible combination of medicinals to replenish deficiencies， invigorate qi， and regulate blood vessels.
