1 Prostate Cancer in TCM 中医治疗前列腺癌略论 Shulan Tang 汤淑兰
2 Introduction 前言 Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Europe for males, and the third most common cancer overall, with over 40,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the UK alone. About 40% of males over 50 years of age suffer from prostate cancer to a small degree: 8% show significant clinical symptoms, 3% of cases are fatal. Prostate cancer is a slow developing disease, with some cases only showing significant symptoms after a few years, sometimes up to 20 years.
3 Some of them are diagnosed when cancer cells are transferred to the bones and lungs This is usually advanced stage cancer. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of prostate cancer is essential in order to diagnose it at an early stage, and receive treatment without delay. It can be classified in TCM within the category of Long Bi, Lin Zheng and Xue Niao
4 Frequent Urination Urgent Urination Retention of Urination Haematuria Painful Urination Intermittent Urination Deep bone pain
5 Blood Tests PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels are one of the main signs of diagnosis and markers of improvement or the regression of prostate cancer years of age: 2.5mg/ml years of age: 3.5mg/ml years of age: 5.0mg.ml years of age: 6.5mg.ml If PSA > 10.0mg/ml there is a 50% possibility of prostate cancer
6 Stage 1: No clinical symptoms. Only found through pathological testing Stage 2: Prostate membrane is still complete, and no cancer has been transferred to surrounding cells Stage 3: Pathological changes travel through the prostate membrane and infiltrate the surrounding cells. High PSA levels. Cancer cells have been transferred to lymph, but not yet to the bones Stage 4: Cancer cells have now transferred to the bones and throughout the body.
7 Within the field of TCM, the prostate is considered to be an extraordinary Fu organ, and is a gland that produces fluid that carries the sperm for the male. Its function is closely related to the Kidney and Bladder, and needs to flow smoothly rather than be tonified. In order for the prostate to flow smoothly, the Kidney Qi has to be sufficient and support the prostate s function. The bladder has to also function properly in order to prevent stagnation within the prostate.
8 Lungs are the upper source of the water The Spleen has the function of transportation and transformation of water metabolism The Heart governs the blood circulation and houses the mind The Liver is soothing and regulating the Qi and emotional activity It is clear that although the location of Prostate Cancer is in the prostate, the pathology is related to the Kidney, the Spleen, the Liver, the Heart, the Lung and the Bladder Etc.
9 Surgery: a. Removing prostate, for the stage one and stage two b. Removing prostate and sperm bag, suitable for advanced stage c. Removing testicle to relieve severe pain in vertebra and back Radiotherapy: Suitable for the advanced stage when prostate removal is not an option yet not much cell transfer Hormone therapy and Chemotherapy: Suitable for prostate cancer that has transferred to lymphatic system
10 As the result of the causes and pathological changes of Prostate Cancer mentioned above, the rule of treatment is to strengthen the Qi of the Kidney and Spleen; nourishing the blood of the Heart and Liver; ventilating the Qi of Lung to regulating the water passage of the Bladder. Thus to strengthen one s immune system The Branch Treatment is eliminating dampness, clearing Bladder, warming Kidney Yang to transform Qi; clearing away toxic heat, soothing Qi and removing blood stasis. At early stage, most cases are excess type and advanced stage can be mixture of excess and deficiency type.
