Abstract:Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of Chaishao Liujunzi Decoction combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of primary liver cancer.Methods The Chinese and English literature databases were searched by computer, and randomized controlled studies (RCTs) of Chaishao Liujunzi Decoction combined with TACE (experimental group) and TACE (control group) on patients with advanced primary liver cancer were searched.The retrieval time was from the time of building the repository to November 30, 2019.RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results The Meta-analysis showed that the Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (MD=9.43, 95%CI=6.59-12.27, P<0.000 01), the increase of bilirubin was lower than that of the control group(RR=0.48,95%CI=0.31-0.74,P=0.001),the nausea and vomiting was lower than that of the control group(RR=0.54,95%CI=0.31-0.94,P=0.03),the abdominal pain was lower than that of the control group (RR=0.56, 95%CI=0.40-0.79, P=0.001), and the fever was lower than that of the control group (RR=0.60, 95%CI=0.42-0.85, P=0.005), and the differences were statistically significant.There were no significant differences in solid tumor control (RR=1.04, 95%CI=0.93-1.17, P=0.48), leukopenia (RR=0.76, 95%CI=0.48-1.20, P=0.24)and thrombocytopenia (RR=0.81, 95%CI=0.52-1.24, P=0.32) between the two groups.Conclusion Chaishao Liujunzi Decoction combined with TACE can significantly improve KPS score and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions to chemotherapy.
