Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Xiaqi Decoction(mainly composed of Poria,Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum,Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle,Armeniacae Semen Amarum,Citri Grandis Exocarpium, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, and Moutan Cortex)on patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ colorectal cancer accompanied by cancer-related fatigue(CRF)after chemotherapy. Methods Sixty patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ colorectal cancer accompanied by CRF after chemotherapy who admitted to Guangdong Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2023 to March 2024 were randomly divided into chemotherapy group and Xiaqi Decoction group according to the random number table method,with 30 patients in each group. The chemotherapy group was given chemotherapy regimen of Avastin + mFOLFOX6 / FOLFIRI, and Xiaqi Decoction group was given Xiaqi Decoction orally on the basis of treatment for the chemotherapy group. Two weeks constituted a course of treatment,and two consecutive courses of treatment were performed. Before and after treatment,the two groups were observed in the changes of Revised Piper Fatigue Scale(PFS-R)scores,EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30(QLQ-C30) scores, Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA)scores, Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)scores, poor appetite scores, and serum levels of interleukin 6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF - α), and interleukin 1β(IL-1β)were observed. After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety between the two groups of patients were evaluated. Results(1)After two courses of treatment,the total effective rate of the Xiaqi Decoction group was 86.21%(25 / 29)and that of the chemotherapy group was 62.07%(18/29),and the intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the efficacy of Xiaqi Decoction group was significantly superior to that of chemotherapy group(P < 0.05).(2)In the second and fourth weeks of chemotherapy,the PFS-R scores for evaluating the degree of fatigue of patients in the two groups were increased when compared with those in the day before chemotherapy(P < 0.05),but the PFSR scores in Xiaqi Decoction group were significantly lower than those in the chemotherapy group after chemotherapy (P < 0.01).(3)In the second and fourth weeks of chemotherapy,the QLQ-C30 scores for evaluating the quality of life in the chemotherapy group was decreased when compared with that one day before chemotherapy(P < 0.05), whereas the QLQ-C30 scores in the Xiaqi Decoction group showed no obvious changes when compared with that one day before chemotherapy(P > 0.05). The intergroup comparison showed that the QLQ-C30 scores of the Xiaqi Decoction group were all significantly higher than those of the chemotherapy group after chemotherapy(P < 0.01). (4)The evaluation of nutritional status showed that in the fourth week of chemotherapy,PG-SGA score and poor appetite score in the two groups as well as KPS score in Xiaqi Decoction group were increased when compared with those one day before chemotherapy(P < 0.05),while the KPS score in the chemotherapy group was decreased when compared with that one day before chemotherapy(P < 0.05). The intergroup comparison showed that PGSGA score and poor appetite score of Xiaqi Decoction after chemotherapy were lower than those of the chemotherapy group, and the KPS score was higher than that of the chemotherapy group, the differences being statistically significant(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).(5)In the chemotherapy group,the serum inflammatory factor levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the second week of chemotherapy and the serum TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 levels in the fourth week of chemotherapy were all increased when compared with those one day before chemotherapy(P < 0.05). In the Xiaqi Decoction group,the serum TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 levels were all decreased when compared with those one day before chemotherapy,and significant differences were shown in the serum IL-6 level in the second week of chemotherapy and in the serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in the fourth week of chemotherapy when compared with those one day before chemotherapy(P < 0.05). The intergroup comparison showed that serum TNF- α,IL-1β, and IL-6 levels in the Xiaqi Decoction group after chemotherapy were significantly lower than those in the chemotherapy group(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion Xiaqi Decoction is effective on relieving the clinical symptoms and enhancing the efficacy of patients receiving chemotherapy for stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ colorectal cancer. It can inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors,relieve the CRF and improve the nutritional status and the quality of life of the patients,with higher safety.
