Colon cancer is a kind of malignant tumor whose etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear. Chinese medicine has gradually understood and perfected the theory of "the liver is connected to the large intestine" under the guidance of the overall concept from the meridians, the five elements, the internal organs and the pathology, and has found that the process of occurrence, development and metastasis of colon cancer is closely related to the liver by combining with the theory of the " gut-liver axis" and modern anatomy. Combined with modern anatomy and the theory of "intestinal-liver axis", it was found that the occurrence, development and metastasis of colon cancer had a close relationship with the liver. On this basis, starting from the principle of "to calm the liver is the mainstay of colorectal diseases", the physiological function of the colon could be restored by dredging the liver and relieving depression, regulating the qi to pass through the bowels and the blood to carry out the blood circulation to achieve the treatment of colon cancer and prevention of colorectal cancer with the treatment of the liver. To achieve the effect of treating colon cancer and preventing liver metastasis of colon cancer.
