ABSTRACT

Malignant tumors are currently the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide. Modern medicine takes "tumor-free survival" as the main goal, however, the current anti-tumor means are difficult to completely eradicate the tumor. Tumor-bearing survival is proposed in view of the reality that tumors cannot be completely eradicated from the human body, and its essence is to improve the quality of life of patients and prolong the life cycle as much as possible on the basis of the common survival of human tumors. The World Health Organization points out that malignant tumors are treatable controllable but incurable diseases, and this view is consistent with the idea of tumor-bearing survival, and effective treatment does not necessarily require complete tumor eradication. Therefore, it is of great significance to intervene the tumor growth, improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time of patients with lung cancer through TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. In summary, this paper discusses the meaning of tumor-bearing survival, the etiology and pathogenesis of lung cancer, the focus of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of advanced lung cancer under the guidance of tumor-bearing survival and clinical medical records, in order to enlighten and guide the clinical improvement of the quality of life of patients with lung cancer and prolong the life cycle.
