Abstract:

Objective: To observe the effect of Yiqi Huoxue (replenishing Qi and activating blood circulation, YQHX) recipe in patients with advanced stage of esophageal cancer treated with radiotherapy and intervention chemotherapy.Methods: In comparing 31 patients who were treated with radio-chemotherapy (RCT, Group A), and 31 patients treated with RCT plus YQHX recipe (Group B).Results: Immediate effective rates were 48.4 % in Group A and 64.5 % in Group B(P>0.05). The function of bone marrow in Group B was obviously better than that in Group A. The 1 year metastasis rate in Group A was higher than that in Group B, but the long-term survival rate of Group B was obviously higher than that in Group A (P<0.05).Conclusion: YQHX recipe could reduce the bone marrow suppression caused by RCT, lower the metastasis rate, prolong the long-term survival and improve the quality of life.
