从“寒痰内阻”探讨食管癌的发病机制

Pathogenesis of Esophageal Cancer from Perspective of "Cold Phlegm Internal Obstruction"

“寒痰内阻”是食管癌发病的重要病机,临证时理应先开表闭、散寒邪,再以温阳化饮法治之,遵循中医学“先表后里”的治法,恢复人体气机升降出入,人体才能气血自化,邪逐病安。若寒邪盘踞人体半表半里之间,正气欲祛邪外出之时,应以“调和为主”,逐渐恢复人体自我修复功能;若病已经完全入里,加之手术、放化疗等对人体正气的戕伐,致阳气大损,此时应扶养人体阳气,患者便多了一分生机。故在食管癌的整个治疗过程中,要始终顾护人体正气,恢复人本有的生命力,且所有的治疗方式都应在人体能耐受的情况下进行,做到“先留人,再治病”。
