Discussion on the pathogenesis and treatment of the hypercoagulable state of lung cancer based on the theory of "deficient qi leading to stasis".

The hypercoagulable state, which is common in lung cancer patients, especially in patients with middle and advanced stage, not only triggers thromboembolic events, but also promotes the growth and spread of tumor cells. Thus, it is of great significance to improve the hypercoagulable state. Based on the theory of "deficient qi leading to stasis", we discuss the basic pathogenesis of the hypercoagulable state of lung cancer and its treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed that "deficient qi" (deficiency of lung qi) is the internal pathological basis for the formation of the hypercoagulable state of lung cancer, and "stasis" (blood stasis) is an important pathogenic link. "Deficient qi" is the basis of pathogenesis and runs through the whole process. "Stasis" is the standard of pathogenesis and worsens the disease. Deficiency and stasis are the cause and effect of each other, and the evil flourishes and the vital qi declines, which constitutes a vicious circle. Treatment should follow the principle of replenishing the deficiency and promoting stasis, replenishing lung qi, harmonizing yin and yang to replenish the deficiency, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and resolving phlegm to promote stagnation. Treating the hypercoagulable state of lung cancer from the theory of "deficient qi leading to stasis" can support vital qi, regulate yin and yang, dissolve phlegm, and remove stasis, thus slowing down disease progression and lowering the risk of coagulation complications, which can provide certain ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the hypercoagulable state and tumor-associated thromboembolism.
