This study is designed as a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects in the intervention group will be treated with XLJDOD compound granule. Subjects in the control group will be treated with placebo (XLJDOD mimetic agent).

Full description

Subjects in the intervention group will be treated with XLJDOD compound granule. Treatment will begin within 3 months after standard adjuvant chemotherapy and compliance will be continuously monitored. XLJDOD will be taken twice a day, infused with warm water, 1 hour after lunch and dinner. One course of treatment will take 28 days in 1 month, and 2- to 3-day rest.
