Objective
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and its incidence and mortality rate rank among the top malignant tumors worldwide, which has become an important killer threatening human survival rate and well-being. This paper summarizes and analyzes the clinical research, molecular mechanism, pharmacological effects and chemical composition of QJWJ in the treatment of lung cancer, in order to provide more ideas and theoretical basis for the treatment of lung cancer with QJWJ.
Conclusions
QJWJ has the effects of clearing lung and reducing phlegm, removing pus by blood stasis, and is a representative formula for the treatment of lung cancer. Both experimental and clinical studies have confirmed that this prescription has good effect and broad prospects in the treatment of lung cancer, but there are still shortcomings, such as insufficient research on pharmacodynamics and pharmacological mechanism, lack of sufficient persuasion and theoretical basis.
Critical Appraisal
Published research can offer valuable insights, but a paper’s conclusions may go beyond what its results support. Critical appraisal examines the methods, findings and limitations to clarify what can reasonably be concluded—and what remains uncertain.
