[Preliminary study of traditional Chinese medicine-Western medicine treatment of patients with primary liver carcinoma].
In order to improve the therapeutic efficacy for patients with primary liver carcinoma (PLC), the authors treated 30 patients by routine chemotherapy in combination with the immunostimulators Bai Nian Le ( ), levamisole and cimetidine. As a result, the NK activity and percentage of lymphoblast transformation of patients were significantly elevated, expansion of the tumor mass was checked, with clinical conditions obviously improved. So the short term effect of the therapy was satisfactory. The study suggested that Bai Nian Le in combination with levamisole and cimetidine was able to elevate the immune response and therapeutic effect. It may be one of the useful adjuvant therapy for PLC patients.
