Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine treating postmenopausal estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced breast cancer.Methods A total of 47 patients with postmenopausal ER-positive advanced breast cancer who were positive for ER and required treatment with Letrozole were enrolled in our hospital from March 2016 to October 2018.According to the random number table method, 23 cases were inclucled in the treatment group and 24 cases in the control group.The treatment group was given Zhibai Dihuang Decoction and Letrozole orally, and the control group was given Letrozole orally.After 2 courses (60 days) treatment, the clinical efficacy, tumor index changes and total incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the effective rate between the treatment group and the control group (P>0.05).The levels of carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) in two groups were lower than those in each group before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared the tumor index CA15-3 after treatment in the two groups, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Zhibai Dihuang Decoction combined with Letrozole in the treatment of postmenopausal ER-positive advanced breast cancer has a good clinical effect in the near future, and can reduce the adverse reactions caused by Letrozole treatment.Therefore, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine for the treatment of postmenopausal ER-positive advanced breast cancer has a good value.
