Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the law governing the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of pancreatic cancer. METHODS: The authors used retrospective study to statistically analyze TCM syndromes of patients, separated complex syndromes and calculated the frequency of appearance of single syndromes. RESULTS: The patients mainly suffered from 4 syndromes: blood stasis syndrome, qi stagnation syndrome, qi (yang) deficiency syndrome, and phlegm dampness syndrome. The distribution of syndromes is rarely related to sex, age and morbid site of patients. CONCLUSION: Owing to complicated distribution of its syndromes, pancreatic cancer should be diagnosed and treated according to its characteristics of deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality.
