[Studies of guben quyu No I combined with chemotherapy in treating cancer].
Cancer patients with Qi-Deficiency and Blood Stasis (QDBS) syndrome were studied, and stress was put on the observation of the Guben Quyu No. I, which was used in combining with chemotherapy for synergistic effect and attenuation of toxicity.


RESULTS
QDBS syndrome often existed in cancer patients, and chemotherapy exacerbate the occurrence rate of QDBS syndrome. QDBS syndrome is somehow related to immuno-deficiency and blood hypercoagulability, the method of Yiqi Huoxue (YQHX) which used to be combined with chemotherapy could not only reduce the toxic-side effects of chemotherapy, but also improve the cellular immune function and hemorheology. Since the cellular immuno-deficiency and blood hypercoagulability were associated with recurrence and metastasis of cancer. It is considered that the Guben Quyu No I possibly is to reduce the occurring of the above-mentioned consequences.
