Abstract: Objective To observe the joint effects of Chinese medicine Huqisan(HQS) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) on survival time, quality of life and immune function. Methods Sixty-five patients with HCC were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group with HQS and TACE, and the control group with Huaier Keli. After the treatment for 24 weeks, the differences in peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets, quality of life(KPS), survival time and clinical efficacy of the overall syndrome were analyzed. Results The treatment group was better than the control group in terms of peripheral blood T-lymphocyte subsets, the quality of life(KPS), survival time and clinical efficacy of the overall syndrome. Conclusion The treatment of HQS and TACE for HCC may improve the overall efficacy and the quality of life, survival time and cell immune function of patients.
