Clinical and experimental studies of JPYS in reducing side-effects of chemotherapy in late-stage gastric cancer.
This article reports a research project undertaken for more than 16 years by the Cancer Department of Guang An Men Hospital. Tonic Jian Pi Yi Shen (JPYS), which nourishes the spleen and kidney, was used in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of late stage gastric cancer patients for the purpose of promoting completion of the chemotherapeutic course, improving the general condition, ameliorating the reaction in the digestive system, protecting hemopoiesis and strengthening immunocompetence. The results of lab experiments were found to coincide with those of clinical application.
