A comprehensive therapy of Chinese-Western medicine and
qigong has been adopted in our hospital since May, 1991-Dec. 1995. Chinese
medicine: compound Tianxian capsule; Western medicine: radiotherapy and (or)
chemotherapy according to patients' pathology type and specific conditions;
qigong: Guolin New Qigong: natural movement, express movement relaxation static
qigong, sound qigong, one two three steps walking and fast walking. It combines
traditional Chinese medicine with modern medicine and integrates
biology--society--psycho medicine together. Modern testing methods, such as imaging and
laboratory tests etc. were employed to observe 120 cases suffering from medium
to late staged esophageal cancer before and after self - treatment. After
statistical management, the result was as follows:

The final result: the survival rate: 5 years: 37.45%; medium survival
period:2-3 years. This survival rate is obviously longer compared to that of other therapies reported so
far. (survival rate: 16-20% for 5 years; medium survival period: 17 months)
The study shows that the comprehensive therapy of Chinese-Western medicine
and qigong has the function of improving the curative effect, relieving side
effects, improving physical state, and prolonging the survival period.
Therefore it is the best therapy in the treatment of medium to late staged
esophageal cancer so far.
