Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Read an interesting abstract today regarding some research that I believe represents a potential opportunity for TCM researchers worldwide. When syndrome differentiation begins to inform Western protocols, then we've got some real integration going on. h*ttp://tinyurl.com/yejdcp*Correlation between TCM syndrome type and intracranial aggressive potentiality of untreated nasopharyngeal carcinoma OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between TCM syndrome type and intracranial aggressive potentiality of untreated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHODS: Sixty untreated NPC patients of different syndrome types were treated conventionally and followed up for over one year. Correlation between the TCM syndrome type differentiated at the first consultation and the intracranial aggressive potentiality of the primary focus of NPC were analyzed. RESULTS: The incidence of intracranial aggression was significantly higher in patients with Qi-Yin deficiency type than that in those with other two syndrome types during the follow-up period (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The intracranial aggessive rate in the untreated NPC patients of Qi-Yin deficiency type was higher than in those of either Qi and blood coagulation type or fire-toxin stagnation type. -- Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
