Objective To evaluate the effect of Yiqi Jianpi Huaji Fang（ 益气健脾化积方

YQJPHJF） on quality of life（ QOL） of gastric cancer patients with chemotherapy of Qi deficiency and blood stasis type. Methods The researchers collected 58 gastric cancer patients with chemotherapy of Qi deficiency and blood stasis type from 7 hospitals to conduct a multi-centered

randomized

double-blind

single-dummy

paralleled

placebo-controlled trial. In addition to the chemotherapy of Docetaxel plus cisplatin

the treatment group（ 31 cases） was administered oral YQJPHJF granules

the control group（ 27 cases） was given YQJPHJF granules placebo

one dose daily for 8 weeks.The patients were followed before and in the treatment once a week to assess their QOL

Chinese medicine symptoms and signs and physical status. Results In the 8th week

the QOL score

classification and quantitation score and physical status score showed a significant statistic difference compared with those before treatment（ P < 0. 05）. In the control group

there was no significant statistic difference before and after treatment（ P > 0. 05）. In the 8th week

the classification and quantitation score of symptom and sign in Chinese medicine in the treatment group showed a significant statistic difference compared with that in the control group（ P < 0. 05）. Conclusion YQJPHJF could apparently improve the Chinese medicine symptoms and signs of gastric cancer with chemotherapy

and seems to have a potential efficacy in improving their QOL and physical status.
