Abstract:
Objective To provide solid data for TCM treatment and research of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) by investigating its syndromes distribution.Methods 180 patients diagnosed of TNBC in Department of Oncology,Guang'anmen Hospital from Janurary 2007 to November 2012 participated in this clinical trial.Eight principals syndrome differentiation,and Qi,Blood and viscal syndrome differentiation were used.According to the syndromes diagnosis standard,the differentiation of one single syndrome firstly and then multi-syndrome were conducted and related variables were analyzed finally Results 404 symptoms presented in all 180 patients.Qi deficiency syndrome (35.89％) and blood stasis syndrome (32.18％) showed statistical difference when compared with blood deficiency syndrome (3.22％),yin deficiency syndrome (4.95％),yang deficiency syndrome (3.96％),spleen-dampness syndrome (3.47％),qi stagnation syndrome (7.43％),toxic heat syndrome (4.95％) and dampness-heat syndrome (1.49％) (P＜0.01,x2=124.709,116.007,127.813,126.913,105.411,116.007,140.015; 118.273,105.447,117.630,120.445,97.411,105.447,110.273respectively).92.22％ syndroms were multi-syndrome including 23.89％ bi-syndrome,32.22％ tri-syndrome and 25.56％ qua-syndrome.Conclusion The syndromes of TNBC were complicated but with predominant Qi dificency and Blood stasis; single syndrome identification should be put in the first place and then combining them together may be practical approaches; Replenishing Qi and activating blood circulation might be breaking through in TNBC treatment.
