Objective： To observe the clinical efficacy of bloodletting and cupping on chemotherapy- induced thrombocytopenia. Methods： We gathered 30 patients who had solid malignant tumors and confirmed through eitherhistopathology or cytology. Next,we performed bloodletting and cupping treatment at BL18 and BL20 acupoints and / or directly on hard lumps or nodules under the skin nearby BL18 or BL20 acupoints of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. We kept the cups on for 8- 10 minutes until every cup had let out 5- 8 ml of blood. We did this treatment once every three days,with 2 treatments as an entire therapy session. After 2 entire therapy sessions,we evaluated the efficacy of this treatment method. Results： Of the 30 cases,10 cases had an outstanding efficacy（ 33. 3%）; 16 cases had a normal efficacy（ 53. 3%）; while 4 cases were deemed to be ineffective（ 13. 3%）. The efficacy rate was as high as 86. 6%. Conclusion： Bloodletting and cupping on chemotherapy- induced thrombocytopenia are very effective. The therapy is economical,simple,and provides new ideas for treating chemotherapy- induced thrombocytopenia. It should definitely be promoted as a mainstream treatment method.
