This article introduces WU Liangcun’ s experience in treating pancreatic cancer with Xiao Xianxiong Tang（小陷胸汤）. He thinks that the pancreas is an extraordinary Fu-organ

which could perform its function when there is free flow. The pancreas is located in the middle Jiao（the middle energizer

中焦）

whose functions is under great influence of the free flow of Qi in the liver and the gallbladder as well as the ascending and descending of Qi in the spleen and the stomach

which should be treated by harmonization. In clinical practice

eight-principle syndrome differentiation should be the guideline

to simplify the process of syndrome differentiation and grasp the core of the pathogenesis. He also puts forward that the abdominal pain caused by pancreatic cancer is similar to the chest bind syndrome in Chinese medicine

which could be treated following the example of minor chest bind syndrome

using acrid herbs to open and bitter herbs to promote descent

representative of harmonization

to relieve stuffiness of the chest and reduce masses.
