免疫营养与中医药在消化道肿瘤综合治疗中的辅助作用与应用前景

Auxiliary role and application prospects of immune nutrition and traditional Chinese medicine in comprehensive treatment of digestive tract tumors

消化道肿瘤(digestive tract tumor,DT)的治疗措施已由过去单一的治疗方式走向多学科、个体化的综合治疗.综合治疗的内涵之一是不仅注重消灭肿瘤,而且重视病人全身情况和远期疗效,注重保护患者免疫功能,改善患者生活质量.这与中医药治疗恶性肿瘤保护患者内环境的平衡,提高免疫力,维持机体正气的理念相同.此外免疫营养治疗可改善肿瘤患者营养状况以及调控应激状态下机体代谢过程、炎症介质的产生和释放并激活免疫细胞、增强免疫应答,从而提高免疫力.本文分析了免疫营养和传统中医药在DT综合治疗中的辅助作用以及应用前景.

The mode of treatment of digestive tract tumors(DT)has shifted from single treatment in the past to multidisciplinary and individualized comprehensive treatment.One of the connotations of comprehensive treatment is not only to focus on the elimination of tumors,but also to improve the overall condition and long-term efficacy of patients,protect their immune function,and improve their quality of life.Traditional Chinese medicine has the same concept in treating malignant tumors,i.e.,protecting the internal environment of patients,improve their immunity,and maintain the healthy atmosphere of the body.In addition,immunonutrition can improve the nutritional status of tumor patients,regulate the metabolic process of the body under stress and the production and release of inflammatory mediators,activate immune cells,and enhance immune response,thereby improving immunity.This article will discuss the auxiliary role and application prospects of immune nutrition and traditional Chinese medicine in the comprehensive treatment of DT.
