Clinical Study on Treatment of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Chinese Herbal Medicine Combined with Synchronous Radio-and Chemotherapy

Objective: To explore the effect of applying Chinese herbal medicine according to Syndrome Differentiation of TCM combined with synchronous radio- and chemotherapy (combination therapy) in treating advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: The 56 patients in the group A were treated with combination ther apy, and the 44 patients in the group B treated with synchronous radio- and chemotherapy, while the 34 pa tients in the group C treated with non-synchronous radio- and chemotherapy. The efficacy of treatment in the three groups were observed and compared. Results: The immediate effective rate in the A, B, C groups was 87.5%, 84. 1% and 55. 9% respectively, that in the group A and B was better than that in the group C (P< 0.01). The median survival time in the three groups was 16. 4, 11. 8 and 10. 6 months respectively. The 2-year and 3-year survival rate in the group A were markedly higher than those in the group B (P<0.05), moreover, the clinical symptoms, Karnovsky scoring and immune function were obviously improved in the group A (P< 0. 05, P<0. 01). Conclusion: Effect of the combination therapy is superior to that of synchronous radio- and chemotherapy alone in improving immune function, elevating quality of life and prolongating survival time of pa tients with NSCLC.
