Discussion on the mechanism of the " inflammation-cancer transformation" in primary multiple pulmonary nodules增强出版
Primary multiple pulmonary nodules have a high incidence
and the size and number of pulmonary nodules on computed tomography images increase with time. Postoperative pathology of multiple pulmonary nodules shows chronic inflammation
adenomatoid change
carcinoma in situ
microinvasive carcinoma
infiltrating carcinoma
and other forms. There is a possibility of " inflammation-cancer transformation" in multiple pulmonary nodules with prolonged time and external irritation. The accumulation of dampness phlegm and blood stasis is the basis of the theory of " inflammation-cancer transformation." Healthy qi deficiency is the key to the " inflammation-cancer transformation." Qi and yang deficiency are the root cause of healthy qi depletion. Emotional depression
dampness
phlegm
and blood stasis transforming into toxins provide the impetus for " inflammation-cancer transformation." There are struggle between healthy qi and evil qi
and waxing and waning of dampness
phlegm and blood stasis in the process of " inflammation-cancer transformation." The dampness phlegm and blood stasis will increase when evil qi increases and healthy qi decreases. In contrast
the size
number
and malignancy of nodules will increase during healthy qi deficiency
showing a dynamic shift from inflammation to atypical adenomatous hyperplasia to cancer. The dampness phlegm and blood stasis will be absorbed as the healthy qi increases and evil qi decreases so that lung cancer can be reversed. External irritation
such as acute inflammatory stimulation
may accelerate the transformation of " inflammation-cancer" in multiple pulmonary nodules.
