7 november 2019: U zou de natuurapotheek kunnen raadplegen hoe en welke Chinese kruiden te gebruiken zijn bij uw vorm van kanker of ziekte.

Adressen van TCM artsen en acupunctuur staan in dit artikel:

Wij hebben ook wel het adres van de producent in China van de Sqenqi Fuzheng injecties waar u het via een arts of apotheker kunt bestellen, maar lijkt ons beter dat u dit toch doet via een goed gekwalificeerd arts. Het patent voor Kanglaite berust bij deze producent Kanglaite Patent, USA

Wanneer patienten met niet-kleincellige longkanker na de chemokuren geen progressie van hun ziekte laten zien en als onderhoudsbehandeling TCM - Traditionele Chinese Kruiden blijven gebruiken dan heeft dat een groot effect (statistisch significant) op de tijd van progressievrije ziekte (hr: 0.66; 95% ci: 0.51 to 0.84; p = 0.001), op de overall overleving (hr: 0.49; 95% ci: 0.35 to 0.68; p < 0.001) en op de kwaliteit van leven (rr: 0.68; 95% ci: 0.61 to 0.75; p < 0.001). Blijkbaar werken TCM ook zonder chemo of andere behandeling bij niet-kleincellige longkanker in het voorkomen van een recidief en zonder de bijwerkingen van chemo. Maar het is al veel vaker aangetoond ook bij andere vormen van kanker dat TCM - Traditionele Chinese Kruiden hetzelfde of soms zelfs beter therapeutisch effect hebben dan chemo.

Dat blijkt uit een meta-analyse van 16 gerandomiseerde studies bij totaal 1150 patiënten met niet-kleincellige longkanker. Figure 1 en Table i tonen details van de studieselectie.

De conclusie van deze meta analyse:

For patients whose evaluations after first-line chemotherapy indicated non-progression (including stable disease, partial response, or complete response), including those with poor qol, use of oral TCM could be considered an efficient and safe maintenance therapy.

In de studie wordt gedetailleerd beschreven hoe de onderzoekers tot deze conclusie komen en uit welke studies. Hier de grafiek van de studies die de overall overleving hebben gemeten:

Abstract

Background

The concept of maintenance therapy in cancer treatment is currently under debate because of modest survival benefits, added toxicity, economic considerations, and quality-of-life concerns. Traditional Chinese Medicine (tcm) is widely used in China for cancer patients, offering the advantages of low toxicity and enhancement of quality of life. However, no systematic reviews or meta-analyses have assessed the role of tcm as maintenance treatment for non-small-cell lung carcinoma.

Methods

We searched the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, embase, and the Cochrane Library databases for all eligible studies. The endpoints were overall survival (os), progression-free survival (pfs), the 1-year and 2-year survival rates, and performance status. Our meta-analysis used a fixed-effects model and a random-effects model for heterogeneity in the Stata software application (version 11.0: StataCorp LP, College Station, TX, U.S.A.), with the results expressed as hazard ratios (hrs) or risk ratios (rrs), with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% cis).

Results

Sixteen randomized studies representing 1150 patients met the inclusion criteria. Compared with best supportive care, observation, or placebo, tcm as maintenance treatment was associated with a significant increase in os (hr: 0.49; 95% ci: 0.35 to 0.68; p < 0.001), pfs (hr: 0.66; 95% ci: 0.51 to 0.84; p = 0.001), and 2-year survival rate (rr: 0.63; 95% ci: 0.44 to 0.92, p = 0.017), and a significant improvement in performance status (rr: 0.68; 95% ci: 0.61 to 0.75; p < 0.001).

Conclusions

For patients who show non-progression—including stable disease, partial response, or complete response—after first-line chemotherapy, including those with poor quality of life, oral Chinese herbal medicine can be considered an efficient and safe maintenance therapy strategy.
