Stage-based syndrome differentiation and treatment strategies for diarrhea associated with rectal cancer
Rectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors. Diarrhea is a common symptom during the progression of rectal cancer. In the untreated stage, diarrhea is caused by c
ancer toxins invading the rectum and dysfunction of the intestine's descending and transmitting function. Various treatment modalities for rectal cancer are also important factors leading to diarrhea. For example, post-radiotherapy diarrhea is associated with radiation proctitis, with the core pathogenesis being the internal accumulation of dampness and heat. Postoperative diarrhea is related to low anterior resection syndrome, with the core pathogenesis characterized by insecurity of the spleen and kidney, accompanied by phlegm-dampness, blood stasis, and
qi
stagnation. Chemotherapy-related diarrhea may occur after chemotherapy, with the core pathogenesis involving disharmony of
yin
and
yang
and a mixture of cold and heat. The treatment of rectal cancer-related diarrhea aims to dynamically grasp the changes in pathogenesis during the course of treatment and to implement stage-based syndrome differentiation and treatment. Therapeutic methods include anticancer detoxification, clearing heat and promoting dampness elimination, tonifying the spleen and kidney, harmonizing cold and heat, promoting
qi
circulation, activating blood, and resolving phlegm. Through flexible adjustment of prescriptions and medications, this approach seeks to regulate
qi
movement and restore normal intestinal function.
