Brief Summary

The objectives of this clinical trial were to determine the radioprotective effects and underlying biological mechanisms of Phellinus igniarius and its active components during radiotherapy in patients with thoracic malignant tumors. The study group was given the formulation of Compound Phellinus igniarius decoction daily during radiotherapy, 150ml bid until the end of radiotherapy; The control group only received standard dose radiotherapy without the formulation of Compound Phellinus igniarius decoction intervention. The baseline differences between the two groups were compared, including gender, smoking history, body mass index (BMI), pathological classification, median age of onset, inflammatory factors, tumor markers, TNM stage, KPS score, fatigue score, incidence and grade of radiation pneumonitis, incidence of other radiotherapy-related adverse reactions, and average radiation dose.

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients were randomly allocated into two groups, each comprising 20 patients. All patients received with DT: 50-60 Gy/20-30F thoracic radiotherapy, all with 6mv linear accelerator irradiation. The study group was defined as receiving the formulation of Compound Phellinus igniarius decoction, 150ml bid was administered continuously until the end of radiotherapy.

NO INTERVENTION

he patients were randomly allocated into two groups, each comprising 20 patients. All patients received with DT: 50-60 Gy/20-30F thoracic radiotherapy, all with 6mv linear accelerator irradiation. The control group was defined as receiving standard-dose radiotherapy without the administration of the formulation of Compound Phellinus igniarius decoction.

Interventions

The formulation of Compound Phellinus igniarius decoction is manufactured by Hangzhou Qianjifang Technology Co., Ltd, the composition includes Phellinus igniarius 12g, jujube 3g, wolfberry 3g, tangerine peel 1g. The dosage regimen was as follows: 4 Packs of the formulation of Compound Phellinus igniarius decoction (Phellinus igniarius Herbal Decoction Pieces) + 1 Pack of the formulation of Compound Phellinus igniarius decoction(Excipients) per day, administered twice daily throughout the entire course of radiotherapy until its completion.
