Objective     To compare the therapeutic effects

adverse reaction and quality of life when  advanced lung cancer patients were treated with chemotherapy alone (control group) or combined with Shenqifuzheng Injection (a traditional Chinese Medicine injection

treated group).      Methods     In the treated group

beside NP scheme chemotherapy

a 250 ml of Shenqifuzheng Injection was given  intravenously per day for 6 successive weeks

while to the control group

only chemotherapy was given.      Results     The effective rate in the treated group and the control group was 46.7% and 36.7% respectively after 2 cycles chemotherapy

with no significance was found. But the rate of progression

adverse reaction in bloo

d were all lower in the treated group than in the control group(

P

<

0.05)

and the improvement in Karnofsky scores in the former was higher than in the latter (

P

<

0.05).      Conclusion     Chemotherapy supplemented with Shenqifuzheng Injection shows apparent effect in treating advanced lung cancer

and it can lower the influence on adverse reaction of chemotherapy

and improve the quality of life of patients.
