Abstract:
Gastric precancerous lesions, often presenting as decreased appetite, weight loss, fatigue, epigastric fullness, and upper abdominal pain, pose challenges to treatment and considerably affect patients' quality of life. Pathologically, these lesions are characterized by alterations in the gastric mucosa accompanied by intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia, which markedly elevate the risk of developing gastric cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners have explored various therapeutic approaches focusing on invigorating the spleen, resolving dampness, clearing heat, addressing phlegm accumulation, activating blood, and detoxifying. For contemporary populations suffering from gastric precancerous lesions, our team has innovatively proposed a core pathogenesis theory encompassing deficiency, stagnation, phlegm, stasis, and toxin. Furthermore, our team has developed a comprehensive prevention and treatment framework: Invigorating the spleen and harmonizing the stomach (foundational principles), balancing and restoring Qi movement (primary objectives), resolving phlegm and unblocking collaterals (routine practices), detoxifying and dissipating nodules (critical interventions), and comprehensive health management (supportive care). This framework provides a robust theoretical foundation along with practical guidance for preventing and treating diseases related to the spleen-stomach axis. From a pathological perspective, key interventions for managing gastric precancerous lesions include restoring integrity of the gastric mucosae while regulating its microenvironmental conditions and enhancing mucosal circulation, which are integral throughout the entire treatment process. On this basis, a full-course chain of prevention and treatment has been established within clinical practice, encompassing functional gastrointestinal disorders-superficial gastritis-atrophic gastritis-gastric precancerous lesions-prevention and treatment post-endoscopic submucosal dissection. The guiding principles of this treatment approach involve invigorating the spleen, regulating Qi movement, resolving phlegm, unblocking collaterals, and detoxifying. TCM compound formulas such as Jianpi Tongluo Jiedu prescription and Hezhong Xiaopi granules, as well as Chinese patent medicines like Weifuchun and Moluodan, can be used for treating gastric precancerous lesions at different stages. Through medicinal regulation, the state of the gastric mucosa can be improved, and thus the development of gastric precancerous lesions can be curbed from the perspective of full-course prevention and treatment.
