About this trial
Postoperative immunoadjuvant therapy has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of recurrence after resectable NSCLC, and has become a new standard of postoperative adjuvant therapy for stage II-III NSCLC. Immunotherapy faces challenges such as immune resistance, heterogeneity of biomarker expression, and limitation of immune-suitable population. How to reduce the rate of recurrence and metastasis after surgery, enhance the therapeutic effect of immunotherapy, and then prolong the survival period and improve the quality of life, has become an urgent problem facing the current clinical. Based on the standards of evidence-based medicine, this study for the first time carried out a large sample, multi-center, randomized parallel controlled clinical study to obtain high-quality clinical evidence of the effectiveness and safety of electro-acupuncture and Zilongjin tablet synergic treatment, and formed a standard treatment plan of traditional Chinese medicine.
