Abstract:Real-world research refers to the selection of representative subjects, random selection of treatment plans based on the actual situation of patients, long-term observation to assess the safety and external effectiveness of the intervention. Relative to randomized controlled trials (RCT), real-world research has large sample sizes, representative subjects, no exclusion criteria, efficacy evaluations from a patient perspective, so the results are more convincing. It is mainly implemented through cohort studies, cross-sectional studies, registration studies, case-control studies. In China, real-world research is currently conducted mainly through the hospital information system (HIS) database. Real-world research has just started in the field of oncology. At present, China′s cancer treatment is still dominated by Western medicine and supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine. There are differences in the syndromes of cancer patients in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation treatment can be used as a supplementary treatment. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine injection such as Compound Kushen Injection is widely used in the treatment of malignant tumors, which is beneficial to the prognosis of cancer patients.
