Abstract: S-1 plus oxaliplatin as the first-line treatment for patient with advanced gastric cancer is effective. Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea has a major impact on patient’s quality of life. The detoxification of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on chemotherapy is beneficial to the patients who suffered from the diarrhea toxicities. Best supportive care may prolong survival, improve the quality of life and prevents the adverse events that may be associated with cytotoxic cancer therapies.

Keywords: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); cancer related symptom
