A comprehensive therapy of Chinese-Western medicine and qigong has been adopted in our hospital since May, 1991-Dec. 1995. Chinese medicine: compound Tianxian capsule; Western medicine: radiotherapy and (or) chemotherapy according to patients' pathology type and specific conditions; qigong: Guolin New Qigong: natural movement, express movement relaxation static qigong, sound qigong, one two three steps walking and fast walking. It combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern medicine and integrates biology--society--psycho medicine together. Modern testing methods, such as imaging and laboratory tests etc. were employed to observe 120 cases suffering from medium to late staged esophageal cancer before and after self - treatment. After statistical management, the result was as follows:

Groups	Number	Bone Marrow Suppression	Nausea & Vomiting	Liver & Kidney Damage	Loss of Hair	Fever	P Value
Before Therapy	120	24 (0.2)	22 (0.183)	2 (0.017)	10 (0.083)	4 (0.033)
After Therapy	120	16(0.133)	0	0	0	0	<0.01

Years after Therapy

Beginning Number of Patients

Number of Mortality of this Illness

Number of Mortality of other Illnesses

Number of Losing Contact During the Period

Adjusted Number During the Period

Rate of Mortality

Rate of Survivors

Cumulative Rate of Survivors

1st year	120	22	14	0	113	0.1947	0.8053	0.8053
2nd year	84	24	6	10	76	0.3158	0.6842	0.5510
3rd year	44	2	4	16	34	0.0588	0.9412	0.5185
4th year	22	2	6	8	15	.01333	0.8667	0.4494
5th year	6	1	0	0	6	0.1667	0.8333	0.3745

The final result: the survival rate: 5 years: 37.45%; medium survival period:2-3 years. This survival rate is obviously longer compared to that of other therapies reported so far. (survival rate: 16-20% for 5 years; medium survival period: 17 months)

The study shows that the comprehensive therapy of Chinese-Western medicine and qigong has the function of improving the curative effect, relieving side effects, improving physical state, and prolonging the survival period. Therefore it is the best therapy in the treatment of medium to late staged esophageal cancer so far.
