and the influence factors of the treatment.Methods A reviewed analysis was made on the patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who were treated by Qingyi Huaji Formula
the integrated western and traditional Chinese Medicine.The survival rate of treatment group
64 cases
was compared with that of the control group
70 cases
treated by non-Qingyi Huaji Formula
and the influence of various clinical factors
chemical therapy
radiotherapy on the survival rate was analyzed.Results In the treatment group
the survival rate of 1
3
and 5 years was 25.0%
14.1% and 8.4% respectively
and the median survival was 7.6 months
obviously longer than those of the control group(P<0.05).Those who with the serum CA19-9≥500U/ml and KPS<80 before treatment were related with poorer survival(P<0.05).In the treatment group
the survival rate of different TCM syndromes was not significantly different(P>0.05).The survival rate of radiotherapy and chemotherapy was better than that of chemotherapy alone(P<0.05).Conclusion Qingyi Huaji Formula is important in prolonging survival of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
