The second phase of Project Stellar
First, let's understand the causes of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is mostly caused by disturbances in the body's internal environment and long-term damage. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the pancreas belongs to the "cellular gland" in the viscera, which is mainly affected by liver qi. The "hepatobiliary photo" we often refer to reflects the close connection between the pancreas and the liver. If the liver qi is stagnant, it will often lead to spleen and stomach imbalance, dampness and heat accumulation, which will affect the normal function of the pancreas. In addition, long-term bad lifestyle Xi, such as irregular diet, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, etc., will also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer.
In view of the difficulties of pancreatic cancer, the field of traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience and methods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pancreatic cancer mostly has pathological characteristics such as liver and gallbladder dampness and heat, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Therefore, we will use traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions such as clearing heat and detoxifying, soothing the liver and regulating qi, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, supplemented by acupuncture, massage and other auxiliaries**.
Among them, there is a famous recipe called "Relieve Depression and Dissipate Knot Soup". This prescription is composed of Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron chinensis, Phellodendron phellodendron and other medicines, which have the effect of soothing the liver and clearing away heat. It can relieve stagnation, soothe the liver and regulate qi, thereby improving the condition of pancreatic cancer patients. In addition, there is also a famous prescription called "blood circulation and blood stasis decoction", which contains peach kernels, safflower, angelica and other drugs that promote blood circulation and blood stasis, which can dredge qi stagnation, improve blood circulation of patients, and promote the shrinkage of tumors.
In addition, acupuncture also has a role in pancreatic cancer. Acupuncture can stimulate the meridians, adjust the flow of qi and blood in the human body, enhance the body's immunity, and improve the patient's resistance. In **, our commonly used acupuncture points include Zusanli, Spleen Yu, Liver Yu, etc., which have the effect of soothing the liver and regulating qi, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis.
However, although traditional Chinese medicine has a certain efficacy in pancreatic cancer, there are still difficulties due to the aggressive characteristics of pancreatic cancer and the difficulty of advanced diagnosis. Many patients arrive at the hospital with the tumor having spread to other organs, making surgical removal difficult. Traditional** methods such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy also face a series of challenges.
Therefore, in the ** of pancreatic cancer, we should pay attention to early prevention and diagnosis. Regular check-ups and a healthy diet are important ways to prevent pancreatic cancer. At the same time, it is imperative to strengthen the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and explore new methods and drugs.
To sum up, the reason why pancreatic cancer is difficult is because of its highly aggressive and advanced diagnosis. Although the field of traditional Chinese medicine has certain experience and efficacy in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, it is still facing difficulties. Therefore, we should focus on prevention and early diagnosis, and at the same time strengthen research and explore more effective ways to improve the rate of pancreatic cancer.
