目的 分析槐花散合桃花汤联合FP（顺铂、5-氟尿嘧啶）化疗方案治疗寒热错杂型晚期食管癌患者的效果。方法 选取我院2023年1月～2024年8月寒热错杂型晚期食管癌患者98例，依照随机数字表法分为两组，各49例。对照组接受FP化疗方案治疗，观察组接受槐花散合桃花汤联合FP化疗方案治疗。比较两组多维度疗效[西医疗效（疾病控制率）、中医疗效]、治疗前后中医证候积分（TCMSS）、肿瘤标志物[鳞状细胞癌抗原（SCC-Ag）、癌胚抗原（CEA）、细胞角蛋白19片段（CYFRA21-1）]、生活质量[食管癌生命质量测定量表（QLICP-ES）]、毒副反应、1年生存率。结果 观察组中医疗效（89.80%）较对照组（65.31%）高（P＜0.05），而两组疾病控制率比较无明显差异（P＞0.05）；观察组TCMSS低于对照组（P＜0.05）；治疗后，观察组CEA、CYFRA21-1、SCC-Ag水平低于对照组（P＜0.05）；治疗后，观察组QLICP-ES评分低于对照组（P＜0.05）；观察组恶心呕吐、消化系出血、脱发发生率较对照组低（P＜0.05）；两组1年生存率对比无明显差异（P＞0.05）。结论 槐花散合桃花汤联合FP化疗方案治疗寒热错杂型晚期食管癌，能提高中医疗效，降低患者肿瘤标志物水平，减轻毒副反应，改善中医症状，并有助于减轻化疗对生活质量的负面影响。
Objective To analyze the efficacy of Huaihua San and Taohua Decoction combined with FP (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil) chemotherapy regimen in the treatment of patients with advanced esophageal cancer of intermingled cold-heat syndrome type. Methods A total of 98 patients with advanced esophageal cancer complicated with intermingled cold-heat syndrome admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to August 2024 were enrolled and divided into two groups by the random number table method, with 49 cases in each group. The control group was treated with FP chemotherapy regimen, and the observation group was treated with Huaihua San and Taohua Decoction combined with FP chemotherapy. Multi-dimensional efficacy indicators [western medicine efficacy (disease control rate) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) efficacy], as well as the TCM syndrome score (TCMSS), tumor markers [squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1)], quality of life [quality of life instrument for cancer patients-esophageal cancer scale (QLICP-ES)] before and after treatment, adverse reactions and 1-year survival rate were compared between the two groups. Results The TCM efficacy rate of the observation group was 89.80%, which was significantly higher than 65.31% of the control group (P<0.05), no significant difference was found in disease control rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The TCMSS of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The QLICP-ES score of the observation group was superior to the control group after treatment (P<0.05). The incidences of nausea and vomiting, digestive tract hemorrhage and alopecia in the observation group were markedly lower (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in 1-year survival rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The regimen of Huaihua San and Taohua Decoction combined with FP chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer of intermingled cold-heat syndrome can improve TCM therapeutic efficacy, reduce the levels of tumor markers, alleviate toxic and side effects, ameliorate TCM symptoms, and lessen the negative impact of chemotherapy on patients quality of life.
