Abstract:
Based on the theory of "sanjiao membrane and interstice", it is believed that ovarian cancer originates from sanjiao membrane and interstice, and can be transferred to other places from sanjiao membrane and interstice, and the disease is located in the lower jiao, with key pathogenesis as the malfunction of sanjiao membrane and interstice caused by original yang deficiency and disturbance of qi movement in sanjiao membrane and interstice. The treatment advocates combining disease and syndrome, treating the root and branch simultaneously, focusing on regulating the function of sanjiao membrane and interstice, making sanjiao membrane and interstice smooth by warming yang and benefiting qi, moving qi and activating blood circulation, eliminating blood stasis and removing phlegm, detoxifying and dissipating masses, and so on, with Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula (益气活血解毒方) as a basic formula for treating ovarian cancer. Meanwhile, focusing on the staging of treatment, western medicine treatment can be assisted in the acute stage to reduce the toxicity, increase the effect, and reduce the adverse reaction; in the remission or stabilisation stage, as well as in the advanced stage with palliative treatment, individualised addition and subtraction of medications can be given according to the patient's physical condition and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome, so as to improve the microenvironment of the tumour.
