Summary

The researching subject is aimed to obtain the clinical evidences (including real benefits， risks ,etc. ) of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer by compared with the outcomes that not accept the traditional Chinese medicine. the subject acquires these clinical practices by using the methods of multicenter、persisting registry (the real world researching technology ) and propensity score.

Detailed description

The purpose of this project is to further evaluate the role of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer through clinical registration along with real world study. The patients who suffer from advanced gastric cancer often have a very short time survival . Their total survival time is only 4.3 months after the best supportive care. At present palliative chemotherapy is still the main method for advanced gastric cancer . In recent years, the results of international multi center phase III clinical trial show that the patients with combination chemotherapy have 8.6 months to 13.0 months survival time. In China, the clinical curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer has been part of affirmation. Some reports with large samples of clinical research show that the Traditional Chinese Medicine may prolong the survival and improve the quality of life in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Real World Study emphasizes in epidemiological theories, clinical observational study, cross-sectional study and cohort study. The observational study of registry (registry study in clinical practice) is particularly widely used. Clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer often relies on the accumulation of years of medical experiences and sometimes new treatment measures. There must be some objective evidences that with reasonable design, rigorous process, scientific statistics to evaluate the value of traditional Chinese medicine intervention in the comprehensive treatment of advanced gastric cancer patients in order to meet the needs of clinical practice and medical development in China.
