Abstract
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Bailong Tablet
and chemotherapy on treatment of moderate and advanced cancers.Methods: The patients were divided randomly into two groups. The treated group (n= 41) was treated with chemotherapy plus Bailong Tablet; and the control group (n= 22) treated with chemotherapy alone. Treatment effectiveness was measured with Karnofsky scores.Results: Karnofsky performance status in the treated group before and after treatment was 66.0 ± 8.7 and 68.0 ± 5.9 respectively, that in the control group was 67. 0 ± 6.8 and 53. 0 ± 7.3 respectively. The completion rate of chemotherapy in the treated group (92.6%, 38/41) was higher than that in control (77.2%, 17/22,P < 0.05). The side-effects caused by chemotherapy in the treated group were lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). CD3 +, CD4 + and CD4 + /CD8 + ratio were higher in the treated group.Conclusion: Bailong Tablet can enhance the therapeutic effect and reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy. One possible mechanism is the modulation of cellular immune function.
