ABSTRACT

The pathogenesis theory of"spleen deficiency and stasis toxin"in gastric cancer holds that spleen is the source of generation and transformation of qi and blood,that spleen deficiency is the internal basis of disease and throughout the disease.Stasis toxin is based on spleen deficiency,which is the fundamental pathogenesis of gastric cancer.In the pathological process of gastric cancer,a variety of metabolic substances in tumor cells and tumor microenvironment,mainly glucose metabolic reprogramming,undergo metabolic changes to reconstruct the phenotype and function of tumor-related macrophages,which is consistent with the pathogenesis theory of"spleen deficiency and stasis toxin".Therefore,this article focused on the reprogramming of glucose metabolism in tumor microenvironment to drive the phenotypic remodeling of tumor-related macrophages,explored the scientific connotation of the pathogenesis theory of"spleen deficiency and stasis toxin"of gastric cancer,and provided references for the theoretical and clinical research on the treatment of gastric cancer by TCM.
