Clinical And Basic Theoretical Research On Tibetan Cancer Study

Objective:Through a breadth and depth clinical and basic theoretical research on Tibetan medicine of cancer, to clear the mechanism of Tibetan cancer study, to provide a reference for the clinic.Methods:Through the method of literature research to reveal the diagnosis and treatment of Tibetan cancer study. And by the methods of data collection, discussion and contracts, to make a comprehensive analysis based on the basic symptoms of Tibetan cancer. What’s more, to improve the Tibetan cancer study by elaborating the basic and distinctive points of Tibetan medicine. Combination of the cell and molecular biology with the Five-element theory, and combination of the modern physiology with the three-factor theory and function theory, to illuminate the pathomechanism of cancer. To reveal the essence of benign tumor transforming to malignant tumor. Thus, the research focused on the above questions to illuminate the high value and practical methods of Tibetan cancer study.Results:① From the view of etiology:Through analysis, our conclusion is that, besides inflammatory and disorder febrile symptoms caused by traumatic injury, and the sour, spicy, sharp and rough food, and the blood stasis from rlung to cancer in "The Four Medical Tantras", there are also hot endocrine water caused by exotic germs invading the human body, or photochemical smog invading into pores recorded in "sde srid lhan thabs". For example, most of the improper treatment can lead to cancer, and improper diet can lead to illbieed and mkhris pa febrile symptoms, and salty flavor can lead to diabetes, ten etiological factors can transfer rlung into rough lumps.② From the view of diagnostics:Different from other diseases, the tumor outside the human body has the symptoms of swelling, itching and ulcerated, with a heavy incidence, deep root, rough phyma, long cycle length, and have the characteristics of decay, rough, diffuse and numbness, leading into weakness of essence and human body. The tumor outside the body is easier to be diagnosed than the tumor inside the human body in the early and middle stages. But in the late stage of tumor inside the body, it is easy to be diagnosed for the functional disorders of internal organs, and the occurrence of complications, especially more than 6 months onset. The modern diagnostic instrument and biopsy should also be used in the diagnosis of cancer.③ From the view of treatment:The pulse of the patients can be touched at muscle, bone and vessel, with thin, fast, tight, weak and unconspicuous pulse conditions. The urine of the patients also manifests the same characteristics with toxic, illbieed, mkhris pa, and endocrine water. The general characteristics are numbness, ulcerate, endocrine water, blood stasis, running with pus, red hot pain, rough and agglomeration. The general treatment principle is apocatastasis first, then promoting pus and expelling decay, at last getting rid of scars. The symptoms illuminated at the 63th chapter "man ngag rgyud" of "The Four Medical Tantras " are the late stage of tumor inside the body, and the early and middle stages of tumor are in the 7th chapter of "man ngag rgyud". The treatment is focused on inhibiting the tumor into mature. Using the tonic medicine first, and then reducing the swelling, bloodletting to take a permanent cure. At last, using the purgation methods to remove the lumps as the temporary solution.④ From the view of classification:According to the three-factor theory, the tumors can be classified as rLung, nKhris-pa, badkan and illbieed, and the traumatic tumor cause by weapons. Besides the bye’s tumour, rnga mong’s tumour, dung akhyil’s tumour, sha mo’s tumour based on the shapes of the tumors outside of the body, the tumor can also be classified into muscle tumor, bone tumor and vessel tumor. And the muscle tumor can be classified into mucosa tumor, skin tumor and muscle tumor. And the vessel tumor can be classified into artery, vein and lymph tumors. And the bone tumor can be classified into tumors on the femur, chest bone, ribs, vertebra, lower jawbone, cheekbone, turbinate bone, and alveolar bone in the upper and lower jaws. The tumor inside the body can be classified into visceral cancer, lymphoma, rhinocarcinoma, carcinosarcoma alveolar ridge, esophagus cancer, pharyngolaryngeal cancer, gastric carcinoma, neck carcinoma, carcinoma of penis and toes.Conclusion:① Tibetan cancer study has a long history. According to the literature, "sman dpyad zla rgyal" written in the eighth century A.D., was the first book to record the theory of Tibetan cancer, including the pathogen, pathomechanism, symptoms and signs, the disease characteristics, three factors, the classification of different parts, and the therapeutic principle and method, with 1800 years of history. And "The Four Medical Tantras" and "Astangahrdaya-samhita" have a more specific and detail recording.② Tibetan has an independent theory system. This paper illuminates the pathogenesis and pathomechanism of Tibetan cancer study. The internal cause is blood stasis, endocrine water, three-element (rlung, mkhris pa and bad kan), illbieed and microorganism. The external cause is exotic germs. Tibetan medicine has a proprietary vocabulary, which illuminates and enriches the theory of Tibetan cancer study.③ Tibetan cancer study has a profound practical method, including tonic, rtsa sbyongs, purgation method, bloodletting, medicinal bath therapy, etc, with 18 kinds of methods totally.④ Tibetan cancer study has a specific clinical value. For example, it has a good effect on bad mkhris hybrid headache, which is recorded in the "The Four Medical Tantras " and other Tibetan medical pharmacopeias.
