Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if food supplements,Antrodia cinnamomea, could minimize the gastrointestinal symptom of cancer patients with chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In our unpublished report shows that patients who took Antrodia Cinnamomea compound of 15 milliliters liquid twice in a day, might help white blood cells, red blood cells and hemoglobin increase after 2 months; liver glutamic pyruvic transaminase(GPT) index mitigation, P \<0.05 difference statistically; In addition, liver glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase(GOT) and biochemical index of renal function had no abnormal data statistically. However, cancer patients with gastrointestinal disorders after chemotherapy is known to be a common side effect, we seek to investigate if Antrodia Cinnamomea improves the function of gastrointestinal system.
