Abstract:
The co-occurrence of tumor and psycho-cardiological diseases， affecting both the physical and mental aspects of patients， is a common clinical condition that is closely related to tumor treatment and prognosis. Exploring its underlying mechanism and treatment methods can bring new ideas and strategies for clinical treatment. It is believed that heart-kidney yang deficiency is one of the common core mechanisms of psycho-cardiological diseases. Stagnation of heat and toxins is a core mechanism for tumor formation and metastasis. Additionally， cancer and drug toxicity contribute to the development of psycho-cardiological disease by impairing lung circulation. Cancerous toxins can damage the blood vessels， resulting in a diminished vitality in the heart of blood vessels. Simultaneously， lung qi failing in dispersing impairs the downward movement and causes stagnation in the heart of spirit . This process ultimately leads to the development or exacerbation of psycho-cardiological diseases. The author explores the diagnosis and treatment approach based on the “diagnosing and treating diseases according to syndroms” concept， focusing on related syndrom identification and treatment. The process begins with pattern identification， followed by comprehensive analysis of data gained by four diagnostic methods to clearly understand the core pathogenesis and basic treatment principles. After pattern identification， the focus shifts to recognizing the disease and providing additional evidence to support the diagnosis. Special attention is paid to adjusting the use of medication based on the disease's characteristics. This approach aims to achieve precise treatment for tumors and psycho-cardiological diseases， reducing the side effects of multiple medications， therefore to provide guidance for clinical application.
