OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of ginsenosides (GS) and low dose glucocorticoid for preventing and treating the post-transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) syndrome. METHODS Adopting randomized, double blinded, controlled method, 80 patients with primary liver cancer were divided into 4

OBJECTIVE We previously observed that American ginseng berry and ginsenoside Re attenuated cisplatin-induced emesis in a rat model, suggesting that the herb may have a value in treating chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting. However, it is not clear whether consuming ginseng concurrently with

BACKGROUND Currently, most therapies of postembolization syndrome following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) aim directly at a single symptom, thus leading to limitations. OBJECTIVE To seek for a systematic approach to prevent and treat the syndrome, we carried out this study to
