Abstract:
In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the treatment of tumors, especially digestive system tumors, has achieved promising results.The current research shows that the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and 5-FU can enhance tumor inhibition rate, prolong survival period of patients, improve immunity and quality of life of patients, and significantly reduce side effects such as bone marrow suppression, liver and kidney toxicity and gastrointestinal reactions and so on.Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine combined with 5-FU can have synergistic and attenuated effects.
