Objective:To evaluate the effect of Chinese herbs decoction Shu-Gan-Liang-Xue on endocrine therapy-associated hot flashes symptom in breast cancer patients.Methods:Sixty-six patients with breast cancer receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy were categorized to two groups,the control group received endocrine therapy alone,the other group is administered with Chinese herbs decoction Shu-Gan-Liang-Xue besides the endocrine therapy:Shu-Gan-Liang-Xue decoction was administered above 6 months per year for more than 2 years.Frequency of hot flashes per day was recorded,and the effect of Shu-Gan-Liang-Xue decoction on hot flashes symptom being assessed with Kupperman Scoring Index.Results:Sixty cases were analyzed,32 cases in endocrine therapy combining Chinese herbs decoction group,28 cases in mere endocrine therapy group.For hot flashes symptom,in Chinese herbs decoction administration group,7 cases(21.9%) reported symptom disappeared,22 cases(68.7%) reported symptom alleviated,3 cases(9.4%) reported symptom not changed;in endocrine therapy alone group,5 cases(17.9%) reported symptom disappeared,13 cases(46.4%) reported symptom alleviated,10 cases(10/28,35.7%) reported symptom not changed.The difference between two groups was statistically significant(P=0.013).For sleeping disorder,in Chinese herbs decoction administration group,27 cases(84.4%) reported symptom improved,5 cases(15.6%) reported no change;in endocrine therapy alone group,16 cases(57.1%) symptom improved,12 cases(42.9%) reported no change in sleeping disorder(P=0.019),the difference was also of significance statistically.Conclusion:Long-term Chinese herbs decoction administration remarkably improved hot flashes symptom and sleeping disorder associated with endocrine therapy,meanwhile without definite toxicity and influence on the risk of recurrence of tumor.
