Clinical observation on 271 cases of non-Small cell lung cancer treated with yifei kangliu yin

Abstract

Objective

To observe the effects of Yifei Kangliu Yin(YFKLY) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

Two hundred and seventy-one patients with NSCLC were randomly divided into three groups, Group A treated only by YFKLY, Group B treated by the combination of YFKLY and chemotherapy, and Group C treated only by chemotherapy as the control group for control.

Results

(1) Of the 127 cases in Group A, 1 case got complete remission (CR), 13 got partial remission (PR), 89 had no change (NC), and 24 had progression of disease (PD), thus CR+PR+NC accounting for 81.10%, of the 80 patients in Group B, 17 got PR , 53 got NC, 10 got PD, PR+NC accounting for 87.50%, of the 64 cases of chemotherapy group, 7 cases got PR, 39 cases got NC, 18 cases got PD, PR+NC accounting for 71.88% (P<0.01). (2) The metastasis rate was 23.52% in Group A, 20.00% in Group B and 35.71% in Group C respectively after treatment. (3) The 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year survival rate were 73.09%, 32.01%, 13.18% and 13.18% in Group A, 71.85%, 46.35%, 29.19% and 23.35% in Group Band 37. 61%, 13 67%, 9.7% and 0% in Group C. The symptoms were improved, and Kamofsky score was elevated in Group A and B.

Conclusion

YFKLY could increase survival rate and quality of life, decrease metastasis rate, and enhance the immune function in NSCLC patients.
