Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicines are sometimes used as an adjunct to radiotherapy or chemotherapy for esophageal cancer. These medicines may have a benefit on the survival and quality of life of patients who have advanced esophageal cancer. Evidence from current studies appears weak due to methodological limitations. Due to conflicting reports, it is difficult to argue for or against the use of traditional Chinese medicines as a treatment for esophageal cancer.Entities:
