Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with western medicine on breast cancer after surgical resection. Methods Seventy one patients with breast cancer received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and TCM following resection. Results None of the patients died during the follow up period.Fifty seven patients were treated with TCM shortly after undergoing resection.Two recurrences(3.5%) and 6 metastases(10.5%) were observed in 8 patients, whose median disease free survival was 5.9 years.Fourteen patients didn't receive TCM until recurrence or metastasis emerged, with a median disease free survival of 3.5 years.There was significant difference between the two groups(P=0.033). Conclusion TCM combined with western medicine is efficient in preventing and delaying recurrence and metastasis.
