Gastric cancer(GC)is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)emphasizes treating both symptoms and root causes in managing gastric cancer.Clinically,it is essential to consider the patient's age,gender,and current symptoms,while tracing the individual's condition of qi,blood,yin,and yang—essentially assessing their patient conditions,or renxing.Treatment should adapt to the seasonal and climatic changes according to the principles of the four seasons and six qi,using formulas tailored to the primary organ dysfunction as the core therapeutic focus,while also regulating the other organs based on the generating and controlling relationships of the five elements.Qi stagnation and cold coagulation are common patient conditions associated with GC.Prevention and treatment of GC hinge on"regulating patient conditions,following the seasons,and adhering to the five elements",which includes:tailoring treatment based patient conditions by regulating qi,warming yang,and soothing the liver while nourishing the kidney;following the seasons by adjusting medication and daily routines according to seasonal changes;and adhering to the five elements by balancing the five zang-organs to restore harmony between yin and yang.
