TAI

"TAI" is a non-specific term that, in the provided clinical contexts, refers to two distinct entities. In oncology, particularly in trials involving non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it is a common abbreviation for **Transcatheter Arterial Infusion**, a localized drug delivery procedure used to administer chemotherapy directly into the blood vessels supplying a tumor. In the context of proctology and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), "TAI" (often appearing as "Anal Tai" or "Gangtai") refers to **Gangtai** (肛泰), a branded multi-ingredient herbal formulation used to treat hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and anal sinusitis. The Gangtai formulation typically includes ingredients such as *Sanguisorba officinalis* (Burnet), *Galla Chinensis*, *Borneol*, *Berberine Hydrochloride*, and *Papaverine Hydrochloride*, which collectively exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hemostatic, and antispasmodic effects.
