Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly relates to a composition for breast cancer hydrothorax / ascites, a preparation and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Breast cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women, and the incidence rate increases with age. Genetic, infertility, unhealthy lifestyle and excessive mental stress are several common factors causing breast cancer. Generally, most breast cancer patients in China are concentrated in the age group of 45-55. The causes of female breast cancer are as follows: 1. genetic reason. Generally, if a woman's mother has breast cancer, the woman's incidence rate will be higher than that of ordinary people, and the incidence time may be earlier than that of people who are not cancer second-generation. 2. Menarche and menopause. Women who have menstruation before the age of 12 and menopause after the age of 55 have a higher risk of the disease. 3. Unmarried and infertile. 4. Unhealthy lifestyle. 5. Excessive mental stress. 6. Affected by chemical substances. Some inferior and unqualified skin care products and cosmetics may contain chemical substances that are easy to cause cancer, and if they are used frequently, they may induce breast cell carcinogenesis. In addition, the components in chemical products such as pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables, air fragrances, and clothes dry cleaning agents need to be paid attention to. Symptoms of breast cancer: 1. Lumps in the breast, which is one of the most significant symptoms of breast cell carcinogenesis. 2. A series of changes in the breast, including unilateral or bilateral nipple discharge, itching, erosion, depression, areola abnormalities, etc. Generally, nipple discharge indicates that breast cell tumors may be benign, but it does not rule out the possibility of malignant carcinogenesis. In addition, the hair follicles on the surface of the breast skin of breast cancer patients may appear small depressions, showing a morphology similar to orange peel, and may also appear winegoblet-like collapse, or breast swelling and congestion, etc. 3. Lymph node enlargement, lymph is a defense line of the immune system in the body, and the lymph cells close to the breast are located in the axillary. If the breast cells of one side of the breast are carcinogenic, the lymph node cells in the same side of the axillary may become swollen and enlarged.

[0003] Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the causes of breast cancer involve both internal and external factors, with internal factors being the primary. 1. Internal cold qi, leading to blood clots and blood deficiency. "The Treatise on the Origin and Symptoms of Various Diseases, Volume 40, on the Symptoms of Stone Carbuncle" states: "In cases of breast cancer, the meridians are weak, and wind and cold qi invade them, causing blood to stagnate and clot... There is no fever, but only tuberculosis-like lumps." This suggests that breast cancer can also be caused by external factors, "internal cold qi." 2. Internal damage caused by the seven emotions, leading to liver and spleen disharmony. "Danxi's Heart Method, Volume 5, on Breast Cancer" states: "Worry, anger, and depression accumulate day and night, stagnate the spleen qi, and cause liver qi to revolt, resulting in hidden nodules, like large chess pieces, painless and itchy. Decades later, they become sunken ulcers, known as breast cancer." "The Authentic Surgery, Treatise on Breast Cancer, Chapter 26," explains the cause of breast cancer: "Furthermore, worry and depression damage the liver, anxiety damages the spleen, and accumulated thoughts and unfulfilled wishes lead to stagnation in the meridians, which then form nodules." "Collection of Experiences in the Department of Surgery" contains similar accounts. The book "Medical Mirror: Essentials of Surgery: Breast Cancer" states that "Breast cancer is initially caused by tuberculosis and dull pain, and liver and spleen are damaged and qi is stagnant." The above shows that breast cancer is caused by seven emotional injuries, such as liver qi disharmony, liver qi stagnation, spleen damage due to stagnation, and liver and spleen deficiency.

[0004] Breast cancer symptoms are often accompanied by pleural or peritoneal effusions. Currently, advanced breast cancer metastasizes to the pleura or peritoneum, causing pleural or peritoneal effusions. Current treatments for this condition primarily involve chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy, and intrathoracic or peritoneal drug injections. Because the breast is a relatively minor organ and not life-threatening, surgical resection is currently the primary treatment for breast cancer, particularly for patients in the early stages and those without metastatic disease. Radiotherapy is primarily a localized procedure to address postoperative recurrence, while chemotherapy is a systemic adjuvant therapy. Endocrine therapy is reserved for patients who are not suitable for surgery. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Given the various shortcomings of current traditional treatments, the present invention aims to provide a composition for treating breast cancer pleural and ascites effusions. The composition is formulated based on the principle of liver depression transforming into fire syndrome. This composition is primarily indicated for breast cancer pleural and ascites effusions, liver depression transforming into fire syndrome, and damp-heat accumulation in the spleen.
