ABSTRACT

Paclitaxel is one of the commonly used chemotherapeutics in clinical practice, but some patients cannot tolerate related treatments due to the side effects of chemotherapy. This article analyzes the chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel from the four qi, five flavors, ups, and downs, and return meridian. It is believed that paclitaxel is cold and cold, and the five flavors are bitter and salty. Through the discussion of the properties of paclitaxel, it is of guiding significance to prevent its side effects of chemotherapy and to treat tumor diseases with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.
