Object:It is a research aimed at fifty-two senile patients suffered from advanced NSCLC who accepted a two-months therapy using chemotherapy treatment and decoction. Treatment evaluation would be acquired through observing several different indexes of those patients.Methods:Patients were divided into two groups named control group and therapy group at random. The former accepted chemotherapy treatment (GEM), and the latter accepted chemotherapy treatment (GEM) and decoction (Peiyuanyiliu Decoction). Tumor indicators (CEA), symptoms, quality of life and side effects would be recorded during the whole therapeutic process.Results:Significant differences were founded between two groups in tumor indicators (CEA), symptoms, quality of life and most side effects. But little differences were founded in Glutam ic-oxaloacetic transaminase and Glutamic-pyruvic transamin ase.Conclusions:1.The association of GEM and Peiyuanyiliu Decoction could reduce the level of CEA.2. The integration of GEM and Peiyuanyiliu Decoction could significantly alleviate symptoms and enhance the quality patients' life.3. The association of GEM and Peiyuanyiliu Decoction could reduce side effects caused by GEM. |
