Abstract:
As a part of the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model of malignant tumors, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a unique role in increasing efficiency, reducing toxicity, and preventing recurrence and metastasis. It has been gradually recognized that integrated TCM and western medicine should be used in diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Western medicine such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy may act as the main factors that change the syndromes, as they can induce the changes of the tongue and pulse manifestations and symptoms after acting on the body. It is therefore advised to differentiate and analyze the attributes of yin-yang and cold-heat of western medicine as well as its impact on TCM syndromes, and use Chinese herbal medicinals precisely so as to increase efficiency and reduce toxicity. Moreover, it is better to grasp the syndrome evolution trend of modern medicine and predict the disease tendency, so as to improve the accuracy of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM under multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment model, and promote the maximization of the benefits of integrated TCM and western medicine in treating tumors.
