Abstract
Objective: This article explores the clinical effects of lung-fire-clearing, phlegm-resolving and bowels-relaxing decoction in the treatment of lung cancer of phlegm-heat pattern. Methods: A total of 6 cases of lung cancer patients with phlegm-heat pattern were randomly selected from Inner Mongolia Baicaotang Qin’s Zhong Meng Medical Hospital from March 2018 to December 2020 to conduct the study. They were divided into the reference group and the study group by using the digital table method. The patients in the reference group were treated with conventional Western medicine whereas the patients in the study group were treated with lung-fire-clearing, phlegm-resolving, and bowels-relaxing decoction to observe the curative effect. Results: There were no significant differences in the levels of the tumor markers between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). However, after treatment, the levels of cytokeratin 19 soluble fragments (CYFRA21-1), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The effective rate and the quality of life score of the study group were higher than those of the reference group while the incidence of adverse reactions was lower than that of the reference group, P < 0.05. Conclusion: Lung-fire-clearing, phlegm-resolving, and bowels-relaxing decoction can effectively improve the symptoms of patients with lung cancer and improve their quality of life.
