摘要

Objective: To explore the effect and possible mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on survival and quality of life (QOL) in patients with esophageal carcinoma after esophagectomy.Methods: Adopting prospective controlled method of study

the authors had 128 post-esophagectomy patients

hospitalized from February 2001 to February 2002

randomly divided into 3 groups: the TCM group

treated with TCM drugs alone; the chemotherapy group

with chemotherapy alone applied; and the synthetic group

treated with chemotherapy combined with Chinese medicine. Their survival rate and QOL were compared.Results: In the TCM group

the chemotherapy group and the synthetic group

the respective 3-year relapse and remote metastasis rate were 71.4%

76.7%

53.4%

respectively (x2 = 6.53

P < 0.05); the 1-year survival rate 42.9%

46.5%

72.1 %; 2-year survival rate 28.6%

27.9%

55.8%

and 3-year survival rate 26. 2%

23. 1%

37. 2%

respectively. And the QOL improving rate was 69. 0%

37. 2%

58.1%

respectively

all showing significant difference among them (x2 = 6. 10

allP < 0.05). Moreover

immune function was increased in the TCM and the synthetic groups.Conclusion: Integrative Chinese and Western medicinal treatment was the beneficial choice for post-operational patients with esophageal carcinoma. However

long time use of simple Chinese medicine was also advisable

especially for those in poverty.
