Perspective of Adhistana Antarani of Yakrit Arbuda With Special Reference to Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Purpose: “Research is to see what everyone else has seen and to think nobody else has pondered”, is rightly said by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi. Hepatic tumors are growth on or in the liver. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the commonest and constitutes 90% of cancers of liver globally. As there are still many gaps in current understanding of Hepatocellular carcinoma, further research is required to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the etiopathogenesis of Yakrit Arbuda in Ayurveda. Method: The Samuthana Vishesha (etiological diagnosis), Adhishtana Antarani (pathological) and Vikara Prakriti (clinical diagnosis) of Arbuda, explained in ancient literature have an important role in the understanding of Neoplastic disorders described in field of medicine. This study is carried out by observing and analysing information from classical textbooks, research articles, journals, and the internet. The details gathered were critically examined, analysed, and discussed, and conclusions were reached. Result And Conclusion: The trick is to diagnose; the rest is up to your effort and knowledge. As there is no specific reference for Yakrit Arbuda in our classics, the present study aims at better understanding of Adhishtana Antarani i.e., clinical factors attributing to the precise approach of Yakrit Arbuda in early stage so that the patient is benefited profoundly.
