Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical effect of treating advanced esophageal carcinoma with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.Methods 36 cases with advanced esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into a eontrol group and a treatment group.The control group was treated with conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy,and the treatment group was treated with three-dimensional conforrnal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.The short-term effect,toxicity and long-term effect were observed,and cause of death was analyzed.Results The complete remission rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The toxicity of the treatment group was markedly decreased.One and three years'survival rate between the two groups had a significant difierent(P＜0.05),but five years'survival rate between the two groups had no significant difference(P＞0.05).Local uncontrolled rate and recurrence rate in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group(p＜0.05).Conclusion The treatment of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine on advanced esophageal carcinoma was better than conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.
