Discussion on the Prevention and Treatment of Gastric Precancerous Lesions Based on the Theory of Toxicity and Deficiency in Zhuang Medicine

Gastric precancerous lesions represent a critical transitional stage, marking the final opportunity for intervention before the onset of gastric cancer. Drawing parallels between the toxicity and deficiency theory of Zhuang medicine and the pathogenesis of gastric precancerous lesions, it is postulated that toxicity serves as a pivotal extrinsic factor in their development, while deficiency constitutes an intrinsic underlying cause. In addressing and managing gastric precancerous lesions, Zhuang medicine emphasizes the importance of regulating vital energy (qi), detoxify, replenishing deficiencies, harmonizing the body’s energy pathways, and balancing the functions of internal organs, including qi, blood, bones, and flesh. By exploring the role of the toxicity and deficiency theory of pathogenesis in the prevention and treatment of gastric precancerous lesions within the framework of Zhuang medicine, this study can significantly advance both the clinical management of this condition and the broader development of Zhuang medicine.
