Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of synergism and attenuation of Guizhi Fuling decoction in patients with advanced cervical cancer treated with chemotherapy. Methods Eighty-four patients with advanced cervical cancer were admitted from February 2015 to March 2017, who were divided into single group and combination group by random digital table method, and there were 42 cases in each group. The single group was treated with taxinol plus platinum (TP) chemotherapy, while the combination group was treated with Guizhi Fuling decoction on the basis of the single group. The clinical effect was compared, and the peripheral blood samples of patients of the two groups before and after treatment were collected, then the levels of the serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgM) and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+) of the two groups were detected and compared, as well as the toxic and side reactions of patients. Results The grade distribution of the clinical effect between the two groups had a significant difference (P<0.05), and the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of the combination group was significantly higher than that of the single group (P<0.05). The levels of serum IgG, IgA, IgM, CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ of the single group after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and CD8+ of the single group after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment (P<0.05), but the levels of serum IgG, IgA, IgM, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ of the combination group before treatment and after treatment showed no significant differences (P>0.05), and the levels of serum IgG, IgA, IgM, CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ of the combination group after treatment were significantly higher than those of the single group (P<0.05), but CD8+ was significantly lower than that of the single group (P<0.05). The incidence rates of bone marrow suppression, rectal irritation, skin reaction and bladder irritation of the combination group were significantly lower than those of the single group (P<0.05). Conclusion Guizhi Fuling decoction in the treatment of advanced cervical cancer patients with chemotherapy can significantly improve the clinical effect, maintain the stability of the body's immune function and reduce the incidence of toxic and side reactions.
