depletion is the root of the cutaneous immune-related adverse events (cirAEs) related to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and the
yin
fire exuberance is the branch. Among them, original
qi
depletion is the internal foundation of the disease, while the drug toxicity of ICIs harming original
qi
is the initiating factor, and exuberant
yin
fire is the key pathogenesis. In clinical practice, the genera
l treatment principle advocates banking up original
qi
to consolidate the root and draining fire to raise
yang
.
Buzhong Yiqi Decoction
(补中益气汤) can be used to activate transportation of middle
jiao
(焦) and promote ascent and dispersion of clear
yang
, thereby restoring the balance of
qi
and fire, and medicinals such as Huangqin (
Radix Scutellariae
), Huanglian (
Rhizoma Coptidis
) and Huangbai (
Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis
) can be supplementetd to clear and drain
yin
fire. At the same time, considering the accompanying symptoms such as dampness-stasis and fluids depletion, the methods of removing dampness and dispelling stasis, supplementing blood and nourishing
yin
should be added flexibly. This approach can provide a new perspective and treatment strategy for reducing ICIs-related cirAEs in malignant tumors.
