The Effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine Multiple Integrational Treatment for the Management of Therapy-Related Adverse Events in Patients with Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Study
The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for the management of therapy-related adverse events in patients with breast cancer will be confirm in this study. The results were evaluated by common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE), brief fatigue inventory-Taiwan form (BFI-T), world health organization quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). We collected the data from June 2017 to November 2019, then analyze by paired sample t-test and generalized estimating equations. Patient received more than 10 treatments each period and late stage (stage 3-4) had better benefit. Reduction of CTCAE score and fatigue improvement were better than the other group, although there was not statistically significant. It means TCM could improve the adverse effects in patient with breast cancer. However, more large-scale acceptance and further research are necessary to support our study.
