  Abstract: Lymphoma, a prevalent malignancy primarily treated with chemotherapy and targeted therapies, remains challenged by drug resistance and toxic side effects. Professor Yao Dejiao proposes that lymphoma shares etiological and pathological mechanisms with carbuncle-abscess diseases, advocating a therapeutic approach derived from suppurative infection management. The pathogenesis progresses through four stages: initial stage of phlegm-stasis intermingling; intermediate stage featuring cancerous toxin-induced fire damaging yin; critical phase with persistent toxin retention depleting primordial qi; and terminal phase marked by vital qi collapse and toxin dissemination. The staged treatment strategy prioritizes assessing the protective milieus robustness, combining resolving, expelling, and tonifying methods to harmonize qi-blood dynamics and eliminate toxins. Clinical evidence highlights traditional Chinese medicines efficacy in tumor stabilization, quality-of-life improvement, and enabling long-term tumor-bearing survival for elderly or chemotherapy-ineligible patients.
