OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of ginsenosides (GS) and low dose glucocorticoid in preventing and treating the postembolization syndrome following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). METHODS Eighty patients with primary liver carcinoma were randomly divided into 4 double-blinded

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
