- Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Kangyan Jingfang in the treatment of post-operative cancer-related fatigue in Stage ⅡB-Ⅲ colorectal cancer.Methods A total of 66 patients with stage ⅡB-Ⅲ colorectal cancer who were diagnosed as cancer-related fatigue(CRF)based on TCM syndrome differentiation as spleen vacuity and essence depletion were divided into treatment group and control group randomly,with 33 cases in each group.The treatment group was treated with conventional symptomatic treatment combined with Kangyan Jingfang,and the control group was treated with conventional symptomatic treatment,the course of treatment was 60 days.The scores of cancer-related Fatigue(CFS),TCM syndrome accumulation scale,the revised Piper fatigue scale,Karnofsky performance status,hospital anxiety and depression scale(HAD),tumor markers(CEA,CA19-9,CA72-4,CA12-5,CA15-3,CA242,CA50,Septin9 gene methylation,etc.),immune function(CD3+T lymphocyte level,CD4+T lymphocyte level,CD8+T lymphocyte level and CD4+/CD8+ratio)and safety indexes(blood routine,liver and kidney function)were compared between the two groups in order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Kangyan Jingfang on CRF.Results 60 cases were included in the observation finally,including 30 cases in each group.After treatment,the scores CFS,TCM syndrome accumulation scale,the revised Piper fatigue scale and HAD of two groups were decreased,but the treatment group before treatment showed a significant decrease in all indicators compared to the control group(P<0.05).The KPS score in the treatment group improved after treatment compared to the control group significantly(P<0.05).CEA,CA19-9 and the methylation of Septin9 gene were significantly decreased in the treatment group after treatment(P<0.05).CD3 and CD4 in treatment groups were higher than control group after treatment significantly(P<0.05).There were no significant abnormal changes in safety indexes before and after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion Kangyan Jingfang can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of cancer-related fatigue in patients with stage ⅡB-Ⅲ colorectal cancer after surgery,reduce the physical and emotional suffering of patients,improve the quality of life,and enhance the immune function of the body.The efficacy is safe and reliable,and it has certain clinical application value.
