With the therapeutic tool of carcinoma increasing, life span extending, the solicitude for
the patients'quality of life appear more important. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of
the most prevalent and debilitating symptoms experienced by people with cancer. It can
persist for months or years after cancer therapy is completed and has a negative impact on
all areas of function. Meaningful evidence-based treatment options for CRF are extremely
limited and finding safe, inexpensive, and effective interventions for managing this
distressing symptom are urgently needed. Our previous clinical experience have shown that
traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） had a great effect on improving CRF, Several studies proven
that its'mechanism were related to the regulation of immune function and endocrine hormones.
Fufang E'Jiao Jiang (FFEJJICRF) is a commonly-used Chinese patent medicine and successfully
marketed in China for many years, which are effective in improvement for TCM symptoms of
deficiency with qi and blood. This proposal will investigate the effects of FFEJJICRF on CRF
among non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer, so as to find a new
way for curing it in clinical.
