Objective:To explore the superiority and its links of treatment of Chinese drugs for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:Restrospective research of 88 cases of advanced NSCLC treated with integrated treatment of Chinese medicine and western medicine and 115 cases with simple western medicine were carried out
and the related data was analyzed and compared.Results:On similar conditions of age and constitution
there is no significant difference in cases of the complete relief(CR)plus partial relief(PR)and no-change(NC)
the median survival duration and the time to progression(TTP)in both groups(P>0.05)
and the cost/effectiveness ratio(C/E)in integrated TCM and western medicine was better than in the simple western medicine group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The integrated treatment of Chinese and western medicine for advanced non- small cell lung cancer has a certain superiority in stabilizing foci
improving clinical symptoms
prolonging lifetime and decreasing cost/effectiveness ratio and so on.
