Objective:Cancer-related fatigue(CRF)occurs frequently in various stages of cancer treatment and cancer metastasis.Among them,up to 90% of cancer patients are troubled by it,and the current treatment of cancer-related fatigue is scarce.Therefore,the fatigue of cancer patients often lasts for several years and cannot be relieved,which seriously reduces the quality of life of patients.In fact,Chinese medicine has been treating cancer-related fatigue for a long time,and it is quite effective in improving the symptoms of fatigue.It has gradually attracted the attention and recognition of many researchers at home and abroad.Shengqi Fuzheng Injection(SFI),as an adjuvant drug for tumor treatment,has carried out clinical treatment research on tumors and complications as early as the early 20 th century,especially for improving the fatigue symptoms of cancer patients.However,there are few studies on the molecular mechanism of the therapeutic effect of Shenqi Fuzheng injection on
