摘要

Objective:To systematically access the effects of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment versus western medicine treatment alone in glioma.Methods:Published randomized controlled trials were included from electronic databases(Cochrane Library,Pubmed,Embase,Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang database,Chinese Scientific Journal Database,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database.Deadline on January 30,2020).The Cochrane handbook was referred to evaluate the methodological quality.Curative efficacy,gastrointestinal side effects,bone marrow suppression,survival time and quality of life(Karnofsky)were compared between the two groups.Meta-analysis was conducted using Reveman 5.3 and Stata 14.0 software.Results:Twelve randomized controlled trials involved 886 cases were selected,including 446 cases in the trial group and 440 cases in the control group.The meta-analysis indicated that the overall efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine showed significant improvement compared with western medicine alone.The effects included reduced tumor size(RR=1.32,95%CI(1.18,1.49),P<0.05),gastrointestinal adverse reactions(RR=0.42,95%CI(0.30,0.60),P<0.05),bone marrow suppression(RR=0.437,95%CI(0.282,0.677),P<0.05),and improved KPS score(SMD=0.632,95%CI(0.312,0.952),P<0.05).Conclusion:For patients with glioma,integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment can be one of the options for a better treatment.
