  • Title: [Preliminary evaluation of the combination of Chinese herbal medicine (destagnation) and radiotherapy for esophageal cancer].
    Author: Yang ZY, Zhang LJ, Wang M.
    Journal: Zhonghua Zhong Liu Za Zhi; 1987 Jan; 9(1):48-9. PubMed ID: 3297588.
    Abstract:
    From May 1973 to March 1979, a prospective randomized clinical trial on 425 patients with esophageal cancer was conducted. 194 patients were allotted into the destagnation plus radiotherapy group, the other 231 into radiotherapy only group. The result shows that the combination of destagnation and radiotherapy does not give a result superior to radiotherapy alone. However, destagnation does not increase either hematogenous, lymphatic metastasis, perforation or hemorrhea of the esophageal cancer.
