TCM treatment of tumor recurrence after cryoablation based on the theory of phlegm-stasis and latent evils
After cryoablation, residual tumor cells are common. These residual tumor cells are the microscopic manifestation of phlegm and blood stasis as latent evils. If not treated in time, the accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis will spontaneously manifest over time, or insufficient defense
qi
and th
e invasion of wind evil may trigger latent evils, leading to tumor recurrence. Based on the theory of phlegm-stasis and latent evils, the treatment after tumor cryoablation should focus on resolving phlegm, dispersing blood stasis, and eliminating latent evils to prevent their accumulation and deepening. Strengthening
qi
and consolidating the surface, as well as dispelling wind and dissipating evil, should be integrated throughout the treatment to protect the body from external evils that may trigger latent evils. In the consolidation treatment phase after cryoablation, the key is to harmonize
qi
and blood and balance
yin
and
yang
, aiming to improve the long-term therapeutic effect.
