) u( D/ y/ Y; T& v: GAs a scholar specializing in systematized innovation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine oncology, I pioneered the core academic system of “steady state anti-cancer.” I proposed a transition from the paradigm of “using poison to counter poison” to “steady state harmony,” with the general principles of “balancing Yin and Yang, eliminating evil and detoxifying, and protecting and reinforcing healthy qi.” Grounded in the concept of “healthy qi resides within” from the Huangdi Neijing, I clarified that tumors are localized manifestations of overall imbalance. By regulating the qi and blood of internal organs, improving the “cancer state” constitution, and disrupting the microenvironment of tumors, we can achieve high-quality survival with a tumor present, thereby establishing a value orientation of “people-centeredness and prioritizing life” for the treatment of advanced and late-stage tumors.# \6 F3 @/ x1 _( T$ x$ d7 G
