Chinese Herbal Medicine for Chemotherapy-Induced Leukopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of High-Quality Randomized Controlled Trials
2021 May 04 Frontiers in Pharmacology Wang Q, Ye H, Wang Q, Li W, Yu B, Bai Y, et al.
Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in combination with chemotherapy could effectively improve the clinical symptoms of chemotherapy-induced leukopenia (CIL) when compared with chemotherapy alone or Western medicine + chemotherapy, except when comparing with Placebo (PBO) + chemotherapy. While CHMs were generally safe for clinical use and exerted no severe side effects in the 14 RCTs, high-quality RCTs with larger sample sizes are essential to reduce study heterogeneity.

Clinical effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced leukopenia: A systematic review
2016 Oct European Journal of Integrative Medicine Lee JH, Jang E, Jung MH, Ha KT, Han C
Conventional manual acupuncture (CA) and fire needle acupuncture (FA) were found to significantly reduce the rate of leukopenia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, the methodological quality of the included studies was deemed insufficient, with unclear or high risk of bias in at least two of six domains. The results suggest potential benefits, but more well-planned studies are needed due to the limited number and methodological flaws of the analyzed trials.
