Effect of Feiyiliu Mixture on Prognosis of Patients with Middle and Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Lung
To discuss the effect of Feiyiliu mixture as an adjuvant method for chemotherapy and immune support on progression-free survival (PFS) and survival rate of patients with Ⅲb and Ⅳ stage squamous cell carcinoma of lung (SQCC)
and to investigate its intervention effect on tumor markers and cytokines in peripheral blood.
Method:
2
One hundred and thirty-two patients were randomly divided into control group (66 cases) and observation group (66 cases) by random number table. Patients in control group received programme of gemcitabine hydrochloride combined with cisplatin (alternative paclitaxel combined with cisplatin) and they also got thymopolypeptides for injection
while the patients in observation group received Feiyiliu mixture
with a treatment course of 4 cycles in both groups. PFS and 12 months' survival rate were recorded during follow-up. Scores of European quality of life collaboration cancer core scale (EORTC QLQ-C30) were graded before and after treatment. Levels of CD3

and size of solid tumor was evaluated before and after treatment.
Result:
2
Clinical remission rate of solid tumor was (35/66)53.03% in observation group
higher than(23/66) 34.85% in control group (

Conclusion:
2
Adjuvant Feiyiliu mixture combined with chemotherapy and immune support can prolong PFS
improve survival rate
stabilize immune function
improve quality of life
inhibit the expression of cytokines such as CYFRA21-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor
and improve prognosis for patients with Ⅲb and Ⅳ stage SQCC. Therefore
