Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) belongs to multiple diseases of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).CRC can exhibit sophisticated clinical manifestations and various TCM syndromes (Zheng).Modem studies have revealed that syndromes (Zheng) of CRC are related to pathological characteristics,cell types,staging and prognosis.Surgery,chemotherapy and other modem treatments can influence the manifestations of syndromes (Zheng) of CRC.Modern TCM doctors have extensively studied the biomedical basis of syndromes (Zheng) of CRC,including accumulation of damp-heat (Shi-Re-Yun-Jie),blood stasis (Yu-Xue-Nei-Zu),spleen (Pi) deficiency (Pi-Qi-Kui-Xu),deficiency of qi and blood (Qi-Xue-Liang-Xu),deficiency of yin of liver (Gan) and kidney (Shen) (Gan-Shen-Yin-Xu) and other syndromes (Zheng).These investigations may contribute to the objective and standardization study of syndromes (Zheng) in CRC.
