肿瘤防治过程中出现的晕轮效应

The halo effect in tumor treatment

在中医或放化疗、手术防治肿瘤过程中,出现的一过性肿块增大或淋巴结增多的现象,而这种现象有时预示着肿瘤治疗有效,是人体抗癌的一种特殊反应,借用心理学术语,称为晕轮效应。判断晕轮效应的依据包括哲学依据、形神医学以及血常规。目的是避免定势思维,误将好转的迹象当成恶化,中断或改变既定的有效治疗方案,从而延缓或错失治疗时机,造成不良后果。晕轮效应的提出,为肿瘤的防治提供了新思路和新视角,从而加深对肿瘤的认识,有利于提高肿瘤的治愈率。

In the process of treating tumor with traditional Chinese medicine, chemoradiation or medical operation, the tumor will expand or the lymph nodes will become swollen evanescently. This is a special effective reaction of human resisting caner, which is named the halo effect in psychological terms. To determine whether it is the halo effect is based on philosophical foundation, body-vital energy theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and blood routine examination. The correct judgment of the halo effect is to avoid the interruption of the effective therapy due to the fixed pattern of thinking and to grasp the favorable opportunity in tumor treatment. The conception of the halo effect in the treatment of tumors may provide a new perspective to the medication and help to further improve the cure rate.
