Abstract

Tumor and its concomitant symptoms such as pain, fatigue and nausea bring a huge physical and mental burden to the patients. Although the medication is a common intervention for these symptoms, these problems have not been solved yet due to the side effects and patients' tolerance. In modern clinical practice of anti-tumor, acupuncture-moxibustion not only inhibits the growth of tumor, but also ameliorates the related symptoms as an auxiliary therapy. The paper summarizes the application of acupuncture-moxibustion in treatment of malignant tumor and its related symptoms, systematizes the therapeutic effects on the common symptoms and analyzes the clinical value of acupuncture-moxibustion for anti-tumor. 肿瘤本身及其伴发的诸如疼痛、疲劳、恶心等症候群给患者带来巨大生理、心理负担。药物干预虽然是这些症状常用的治疗方法,但相应的不良反应及患者自身的耐受性使这些问题仍未完全解决。针灸在抗肿瘤的现代临床实践中,不仅具有抑制肿瘤生长的作用,还作为一种辅助治疗方式缓解患者相关伴随症状。本文总结了针灸在恶性肿瘤相关症候群临床治疗中的应用实践,系统梳理了针灸用于恶性肿瘤患者常见症状的治疗效果,并总结分析了针灸抗肿瘤的临床治疗价值。.
