Abstract:
Cancerous fever is a non-infectious fever that occurs during the progression of malignant tumors,which is directly related to the tumor or is caused by tumor treatment.Based on the yin-fire theory,Professor WANG Xi-Xing believes that the qi deficiency of spleen and stomach and the upward flaming of yin-fire are the key pathogenesis of cancerous fever.The cancerous fever involves the three zang-organs of liver,spleen and kidney,and its treatment should be achieved mainly by replenishing qi with warm-sweet medicinals,invigorating spleen and elevating yang,and clearing and purging yin-fire.Moreover,the correlation between earth(spleen)and wood(liver)should be taken into account,and harmonizing spleen and stomach can be achieved by nourishing blood and relieving depression,and soothing liver to disperse fire;the transmission of yin-fire should be blocked through the method of nourishing yin and clearing heat,and inducing fire to return to the source.After years of clinical experience,Professor WANG Xi-Xing establised Buzhong Tiaogan Decoction(mainly composed of Astragali Radix,Codonopsis Radix,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,Cimicifugae Rhizoma,Bupleuri Radix,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Paeoniae Radix Alba,Ophiopogonis Radix,Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus,Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium,Scolopendra,Salviae Chinensis Herba,Fructus Akebiae,and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle),which is derived from Buzhong Yiqi Decoction.Buzhong Tiaogan Decoction is effective on relieving the symptoms of cancerous fever in cancer patients by benefiting the middle energizer qi,nourishing liver blood,regulating liver qi,eliminating abdominal mass and dissipating mass,so as to correct the cold,heat,yin and yang of the human body.
