[Clinical study on effect of Fuzheng Kangbai Granule on long-term survival of patients with acute leukemia].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of Fuzheng Kangbai Granule (FZKBG) on event free interval (EFI) and over survival (OS) of patients with acute leukemia, and to study the mechanism of FZKBG.


METHODS
FZKBG was used in 90 cases of completely remitted acute leukemia, immune functions of patients before and after using FZKBG were measured.


RESULTS
Five year EFI and OS were 64.2% and 77.2% of 90 cases of completely remitted acute leukemia, and the immune functions after using FZKBG have improved significantly.


CONCLUSIONS
FZKBG could increase the EFI and OS of patients with acute leukemia, and the improved immune functions may play a role in increasing 5 year EFI and OS.
