Discussion on Formation and Intervention of the Tumor Microenvironment Based on the Theory of “Where There is Mass Hardness, There must be Latent Yang”
As the environmental foundation for tumor survival,the tumor microenvironment is characterized by immunosuppression, ischemia and hypoxia, metabolic reprogramming, and inflammatory infiltration, providing conditions for tumor cell colonization, malignant transformation and migration. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),
yang
qi
is considered to be closely related to the onset of tumors. Based on the TCM theory of “where there is mass hardness, there must be latent
yang
”, this paper suggests that the state of “latent
yang
” formed by abnormal
yang
energy is highly similar to the tumor microenvironment. The loss of protection of latent
yang
leads to the weakening of positive immunity, invasion of disease and then accumulation of tumors. The constraint of latent
yang
leads to microcirculation disorders, blocked vessels and collaterals, and finally
qi
and blood blockage. The turbidity of latent
yang
leads to abnormal metabolic products gathering, pathogenic turbidity accumulation, and tumor formulation through contention and binding between them. The transformation of fire by latent
yang
mediates “inflammation-cancer” transformation, and leads to malignant transformation of cancerous tumors. The transformation of latent
yang
into toxin leads to premeditated pre-metastatic niches, healthy
qi
deficiency and toxin accumulation, and cancerous toxins flow. Based on the theory of “latent
yang
” and modern researches, this paper summarized the method of “warming
yang
and invigorating
qi
to consolidate the root, promoting
yang
and moving
qi
to eliminate stasis, strengthening
yang
capacity of transforming
qi
to remove the disadvantages, diffusing
yang
and opening up constraint to disperse fire, and reinforcing healthy
qi
and clearing the source to prevent toxins” in the intervention of the tumor microenvironment, so as to provide ideas for TCM to reshape the tumor microenvironment and regulate the tumor process.
