Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the mechanism of breast cancer occurrence,development and metastasis from the perspective of Qi-blood-colleteral transmission.[Methods]Starting from the classical Chinese medical texts and the etiology and pathogenesis of breast cancer,it analyses and elaborates the correlation between the metastasis of breast cancer and the transmission of Qi,blood and collaterals,and systematically analyses the treatment of breast cancer from the perspective of Qi,blood and collaterals,citing a clinical case to support it.[Results]Integrating antiquarian analysis,traditional meridian content and modern scholarly evidence-based surveys,it is found that breast cancer is located in the liver,Qi depression is the core factor of breast cancer,which produces toxin,caused by Qi and blood,mixed with phlegm and blood stasis,and finally reaches the deepest place of the body-collaterals.Therefore,for the treatment of breast cancer,depending on the stage of the disease,the diagnosis and treatment can be made based on the diagnosis and treatment.At the initial stage,the Qi should be adjusted to resolve the toxicity of depression,the blood should be dispersed to remove the toxicity of turbidity,and then gradually penetrate into the channels to remove the toxicity of stasis,and the medication should also be based on the three steps of Qi,blood,channels,and the treatment should be from shallow to deep.The syndrome differentiation of the attached case belonged to Qi deficiency and blood stasis,toxin and blood stasis blocking collaterals,with the method of supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation,detoxifying and removing blood stasis,searching collaterals and removing pathogens,finally the case achieved good effect and improved the lifequality.[Conclusion]The pathogenesis of breast cancer is preceded by Qi stagnation,the poison starts from Qi,enters the blood from Qi,the blood and the collaterals,and the collaterals'deficiency and toxicity are the important etiological mechanism for the emergence,development and metastasis of breast cancer.The treatment of breast cancer puts emphasis on clearing and resolving the toxicity of Qi,dispersing the turbid toxicity of blood,and searching and eliminating the toxicity of the stasis in the channel,which can provide new ideas for the treatment of breast cancer with traditional Chinese medicine.
