Clinical Observation on Jianpi Liqi Recipe for Treatment of 25 Cases of Distal Metastasis of Liver Cancer[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2005, (1): 26-28.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.2005.01.015.
Objective:To observe interfering action of Chinese drugs for strengthening spleen and regulating Qi on promoting metastasis of transcatheter arterial chemoemboization(TACE)of liver cancer.Methods:50 cases of primary cancer of liver were randomly divided into TACE group and TACE plus Jianpi Liqi Recipe group
and serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)level before and after TACE was determined and the survival rate and the distal metastasis rate were observed.Results:There was no significant differences before and after TACE
and between the two groups(P>0.05).The survival rates of 1 and 2 years were 76%and 40% in TACE group
and 72% and 64% in TACE plus Jianpi Liqi Recipe group
respectively.There was a significant difference between the two groups in the survival rate of 2 years(P<0.01).The distal metastasis rates of 1 and 2 years were 28%
52%
and 8%
24% in the two groups with a significant difference in the distal metastasis of 2 years between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:The drug for strengthening spleen and regulating Qi has a certain blocking action on TACE promoting metastasis of liver cancer
but TACE does not obviously inhibit depression of VEGF within a sort term.
