Abstract:Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) clinical practice guidelines are important guiding documents for standardizing medical and health practices,playing a crucial role in regulating clinical practice and improving healthcare quality.Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system,and multiple studies have shown that TCM plays a vital role throughout the treatment process of colorectal cancer.However,the individualized nature of TCM diagnosis and treatment also leads to issues such as lack of standardization and inadequate scientific rigor in colorectal cancer treatment protocols.By analyzing the current status,significance,formulation process,and application strategies of TCM clinical practice guidelines for colorectal cancer,this study aimed to provide insights for the development of guidelines in other professional areas within the field of TCM.
