Guideline for Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer

Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, which seriously threatens people’s lives and health. In recent years, with the advancement of basic and clinical research, the diagnosis and treatment methods for primary liver cancer have been continually enriched. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has played an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer, but there is no unified standard for differentiation and treatment, and efficacy evaluation. In order to further standardize the TCM diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer, according to the requirements of TCM standardization and related technical guidance documents, the drafting team compiled this guideline through literature research, expert interviews, questionnaire surveys, consensus meetings, etc., for reference by clinicians. This guideline is approved and issued by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, standard number: T/CACM 1575-2024.
