Abstract

Late-stage lung cancer refers to metastatic lung cancer that has spread to distant organs in the body. Western medicine believes that the primary lesion is in the lung, and the secondary (metastatic) lesions are in tissues and organs of liver, brain, bones and so on.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of the disease is in the liver, spleen, and kidney, and the manifestation is in the lung, liver, brain, bone, and other lesion sites. Three-target diagnosis: The first target is located in the lung, liver, brain, or bone, with pathological nature of excess cold or excess heat. The second target is in the Foot Jueyin Meridian or Foot Shaoyin Meridian, with pathological nature of a mix of deficiency and excess, cold and heat. The third target is in the spleen, liver, or kidney, with pathological nature of deficiency and cold.

Targeted treatment with acupuncture and herbal medicine: For the first target, local subcutaneous surrounding acupuncture and moxibustion, surrounding fire acupuncture, topical herbal application followed by moxibustion, or plum blossom needle tapping can be performed. For the second target, acupuncture with regulating manipulation on the Jing-river points on affected channels can be used. For those with pain, the dragon and tiger battle or the Qian Kun Nuo Qi needle technique can be used. For the third target, the yuan-source point of affected organ can be needled with warm tonifying techniques and moxibustion. For spleen deficiency, modified Li Zhong Tang can be used; for kidney deficiency, modified Si Ni Tang can be used; and for liver deficiency, modified Wu Zhu Yu Tang can be used.
In addition, three clinical cases are included as examples.
