Results:In 760 cases of CRC, Spleen deficiency syndrome (SDS, 25%),liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome (LKYDS, 13%), LKYDS-SDS,12%,spleen deficient Qi stagnation syndrome (SDQSS, 10%),and damp heat syndrome (DHS, 9%) were more common TCM syndrome types.LKYDS, SDS,LKYDS-SDS,and SDQSS were significantly distributed under different treatment methods (P < 0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of immune fUnction and cytokine among the five TCM syndromes (P > 0.05),but there was statistically significant difference in the distribution of blood routine,liver and kidney function, and tumor biomarkers (P < 0.05). Conclusion: LKYDS,SDS,LKYDS-SDS, SDQSS,and DHS were the first five TCM syndromes in CRC.There were the significant correlations between the distribution of TCM syndrome and the clinical laboratory indicators,and the distribution of TCM syndromes was affected by surgery, radiotherapy,and chemotherapy.展开更多
