Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Ovateleaf Holly Bark decoction combined with DP chemotherapy (docetaxel+cisplatin) in treatment of advanced (Ⅲb-Ⅳ) non-small cell lung cancer. Method: A total of 120 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group (60 cases) was given Ovateleaf Holly Bark decoction combined with DP chemotherapy regimen
while the control group (60 cases) received chemotherapy alone. Clinical efficacy
immune function
quality of life
survival and adverse reactions were compared between two groups. Result: In terms of the short-term clinical efficacy
the total effective rate and the disease control rate of treatment group were better than those of control group
especially in the disease control rate (P<0.05). Regarding the immune function
levels of CD3+
CD4+
CD4+/CD8+ in treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.01). Two groups showed decreases in serum interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R)
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels (P< 0.01). As for the quality of life
after treatment
specific situations of lung cancer
social(family) functions and total score of the treatment group were better than those of control group (P<0.05
P< 0.01). With respect to the survival
the mean progression free survival(PFS)(4.45 months) in treatment group was higher than that in control group (3.40 months). The one-year survival rate of treatment group (56.67%) was higher than that of control group (30.00% )(P< 0.05). In terms of the adverse reaction
the treatment group was superior to control group in the Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of bone marrow
gastrointestinal reactions and peripheral nerve toxicity
with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ovateleaf Holly Bark decoction combined with DP regimen can improve the clinical efficiency and the immune function of patients with advanced NSCLC
improve their quality of life
prolong their survival time and reduce the adverse reactions of chemotherapy.
