Abstract:
This article was aimed to study the characteristics of intestinal cancer by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) based on the scale-free network analysis method. History information of 145 hospitalized cases from 2008 to 2011 was collected from the Oncology Department, Guang A nmen Hospital, in the clinical collection system. The rule of medication in the treatment of intestinal cancer by TCM was explored by scale-free network analysis method from several aspects, such as effects, classification and compatibility relations. The analysis results of 145 intestinal cancer cases showed that strengthening the body resistance was the main treatment principle. Si-Jun-Zi (SJZ) decoc-tion was used with the highest frequency. In the prescription design, qi-supplementing herbs were the most. The heat-clearing, dampness-eliminating, qi-regulating, blood-activating and stasis-removing, food stagnation removing and phlegm-removing herbs were also used frequently. The TCM treatment and syndrome differentiation will be changed due to the treatment and disease stages. It was concluded that scale-free network analysis method is able to relatively show the TCM treatment rule of intestinal cancer quantificationally and intuitively.
