Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate associate chief physician the clinical effects of Jiawei Jinhuang powder with fumigation-washing on hand-foot skin reaction(HFSR) caused by sorafenib.
Methods48 patients who received sorafenib were randomly divided into two groups.24 patients in the treatment group were administered Jiawei Jinhuang powder with fumigation-washing, and another 24 patients in the control group were given VitB6 orally.After 8 weeks, the incidence and grade of HFSR were statistically studied between the two groups.
ResultsThere was significant differences of hand-foot reaction between the treatment group and the control group (incidence rate: 29.17% vs 70.83%, χ2=8.375, P<0.05; The incidence rate of Ⅱ-Ⅲ: 12.50% vs 33.33%, P<0.05).
ConclusionJiawei Jinhuang powder with fumigation-washing could remarkably reduce the incidence rate of HFSR caused by sorafenib.
