Objective: To observe Brucea javanica oil emulsion combined with radiotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer short-term efficacy and quality of life. Method: 70 cases of esophageal cancer patients were randomly divided into two groups

35 cases given conventional radiotherapy

35 cases for Brucea javanica oil emulsion plus radiotherapy. Two groups were observed in the efficacy

toxicity

and quality of life differences. Result: Radiotherapy group and Brucea javanica group CR + PR rates were 72% and 75%

KPS score 90 points or more were 25.7% and 40%

Ⅰ degree of weight loss

74.3% and 60%

hemoglobin>100 g· L-1 were 97.1% and 85.7%
