ABSTRACT
[Objective]To probe the approach of supplementing Qi and nourishing Yin in the treatment of lung cancer. [Methods] With detailed research into Chinese medicine literature from recent years regarding its application in lung cancer, the basic pathogenesis of lung cancer, and relevant clinical effects and fundamental research of lung cancer are summarized.[Result]Numerous studies have shown that Qi and Yin deficiency is the basic pathogenesis of lung cancer, thus the approach of supplementing Qi and nourishing Yin can reduce the side effects and strengthen the clinical effects of radio-chemotherapy, stim-ulate immune function, improve life quality, and prolong the survival time of the patients.[Conclusion]It is significantly obvious that the approach of supple-menting Qi and nourishing Yin has shown great advantages in the treatment of lung cancer, however further clinical and basic research are expected.
ABSTRACT
New oral fluoropyrimidines,such as capecitabine and S-1,have been widely used for elderly patients with a certain efficiency and slight toxicity.Fluorouracil combined with platinum program probably enhances the effectiveness,but also increases the incidence of adverse reactions.There are a few clinical reports about triple-drug combination for elderly patients,but the toxicity is obvious and the efficacy is not certain.
ABSTRACT
The peritoneum is one of the most common sites of gastric cancer recurrence or metastasis.Peritoneal metastasis seriously affects the patients life quality and shortens patients survival time,so early diagnosis and active treatment have a major impact on the prognosis. Continuous studies of some biomarkers and extensive using of ncw imaging technology make the early diagnosis of peritoneal metastasis more promising.Simultaneously,with the rapid development of intraperitoneal chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy,there are more options in the treatment.
