摘要:

湿邪是中医学中“六淫”之一,具有外感性、季节性、地区性、相兼性及转化性;而肝癌的发病及临床表现与湿邪的性质和特点极为相似。肝癌的分布有明显的地域特征,高发地区气候均具有温暖、潮湿、多雨等特点,因此肝癌发病与湿密切相关。湿邪不外乎外湿和内湿之分,外湿因感天地之湿邪而发,内湿因脏腑功能失调而生。在肝癌的防治过程中应重视治“湿”,预防上注重祛外湿,注意合理饮食、清洁环境;治疗上重视内湿,健脾理气为肝癌的常用治法之一。

Abstract:

Dampness factor is one of six pathogenic factors of TCM, characterized by complication, season, region, conversion. The occurrence of hepatocarcinoma is related to the damp area with climate of warm, dampness, rainy. The dampness is divided into external factors and internal factors. The former is due to the abnormal climate, the latter is related to dysfunction of zang-organs and fu-organs. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of hepatocarcinoma should emphasize on removal of dampness. Strengthening the spleen and rectifying qi is one of the important principle in treating hepatocarcinoma.
