Professor XIONG Jibai emphasized that "focusing on the primary syndrome"is an important idea for the treatment of malignant tumors with complicated symptoms and multiple pathogenesis. Only by grasping the primary syndrome can we explore the main pathogenesis and identify the pathogenesis to be treated accordingly. The difficulty lies in focusing on the primary syndrome in the face of complex diseases and focusing on the primary syndrome in the changes of disease movement. In the pathogenesis

the key phenomena of internal accumulation of heat-toxin

intermin-gled of phlegm and blood stasis

and the growth and decline of the health qi and the pathogenic factors in the occurrence

development

recurrence

and metastasis of malignant tumors are emphasized. Treatment should follow the principle of clearing heat and removing toxicity

resolving phlegm and dissipating blood stasis to eliminate tumor

and the strengthening vital qi and eliminating pathogenic factors should be balanced.
