Abstract：Objective To explore the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types and related factors of digestive tract tumors,and to provide a basis for the standardization and objectivity of syndrome differentiation of di-gestive tract tumors.Methods The clinical data of 120 patients with digestive tract tumors admitted from September 2021 to September 2023 were selected for statistical analysis of the distribution of TCM syndrome types in patients with digestive tract tumors and their relationship with clinical characteristics.Results A total of 120 patients with digestive tract tumors were in-cluded in the study,and a total of 39 valid symptoms were obtained from the four diagnostic methods of TCM.Among them,the incidence rate of pulse string,lack of vitality,red tongue,and stomach fullness was>50％,while the incidence rate of abdom-inal distension,poor sleep,fatigue,white and thin tongue coating,thin pulse,abdominal pain,mental depression,yellow tongue coating,dark tongue,pale red tongue color,acidity and noise,irritability and irritability,belching,lack of qi and lazi-ness,especially after eating,and abdominal distension and pain was 30％to 50％.The distribution rules of TCM syndrome types was spleen and stomach deficiency syndrome(n=38,accounting for 31.67％),followed by blood stasis syndrome(n=33,accounting for 27.50％),liver and stomach disharmony syndrome(n=21,accounting for 17.50％),spleen deficiency and dampness syndrome(n=16,accounting for 13.33％)and qi stagnation syndrome(n=12,accounting for 10.00％).Therewas a significant difference in the distribution of TCM syndrome types among patients with digestive tract tumors,categorized by dif-ferent gender,age groups,history of alcohol consumption,presence of unhealthy dietary habits,different tumor types,and pres-ence of tumor metastasis(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the distribution of TCM syndrome types among pa-tients with digestive tract tumors categorized by different marital status,history of digestive tract disease,history of smoking,his-tory of surgical treatment,and history of chemotherapy(P>0.05).Conclusion The most common TCM syndrome type in pa-tients with digestive tract tumors is spleen and stomach deficiency,followed by blood stasis,while qi blockage is the least com-mon.Different gender,age groups,history of alcohol consumption,presence of poor dietary habits,different tumor types,and presence of tumor metastasis are associated with the distribution of TCM syndrome types in patients.
