Theory of "hidden toxicity due to vital qi deficiency" as core pathogenesis for subclinical stage of cancer metastasis
The theory of "hidden toxicity due to vital qi deficiency" as the core pathogenesis of cancer metastasis in the subclinical stage has been proposed and verified. In the process of cancer metastasis, there is a struggle between "vital qi" and "hidden toxicity" . "If vital qi prevails, the hidden toxicity will be subdued without causing diseases; however, if vital qi is weak, the hidden toxicity will burst out to cause diseases" . The essence actually is the fight between cancer cells and the host’s cancer suppression power. After the radical resection of solid tumors, the residual cancer cells (e.g., circulating tumor cells, disseminated tumor cells, dormant tumor cells, etc.) are latent in the body, being in the dormant or quiescent phase. When there is a deficiency of vital qi (i.e., when the immune surveillance and immune clearance efficiency decreases), cancer cells will enter the proliferative phase from the quiescent phase, leading to the occurrence of clinical metastasis. Therefore, the key strategy to prevent the occurrence of cancer metastasis is to comprehensively regulate the patient’s vital qi in terms of form, qi and spirit.
