Methods: Searching the randomized controlled trials (RCT) studies from the databases (China HowNet database, Wan Fang database, VIP database, Master Thesis and Pubmed) between January 2013 and January 2017. RevMan 5.3 software was used to evaluate the quality of these collected papers. Results: Of 48 potentially relevant publications, 10 randomized studies representing 691 patients met inclusion criteria with 369 cases in the supplementing Qi and nourishing Yin plus Chemotherapy group (Herbs + Chem group) and 322 cases in Chemotherapy group (Chem only group). There were significant differences between Herbs + Chem group and Chem only group in improving the treatment efficacy and reducing the side effects of chemotherapy (P 〈 0.001 for all). There were also significant differences between the two groups in tumor response and quality of life (P 〈 0.001 for all). Conclusion: Herbs of supplementing Qi and nourishing Yin may increase chemotherapy effectiveness, reduce chemotherapy toxicity and improve the quality of life of patients with lung cancer when combined with chemotherapy.展开更多
