Results:Complete and partial remission was 42.8% and stable rate was 31.4% in the treatment group. Lymph nodes and primary tumors also have significant findings. Survival rate has increased significantly.
Conclusion:Combining IR-WBH and IHCP therapies are effective treatment methods for advanced gastrointestinal tumor.
