(A and B) Death distribution scatter diagram of patients in the TCM group (A) and non-TCM group (B). (C) Survival analysis of patients with different supporting TCM treatment principles. The median OS of patients who received heat-clearing diuresis-promoting and detoxification was longer than that for patients who received blood-activating and stasis-dissolving, and tonifying qi and yang TCM treatment (P = 0.008). (D) Constitution rates of survival time in different supporting TCM treatment principles. It was significantly different in patients who survived more than 25 months between heat-clearing, diuresis-promoting and detoxification adjuvant therapy subgroup and other adjuvant therapy subgroups (P < 0.001). 1 = heat-clearing, diuresis-promoting and detoxification, 2 = blood-activating and stasis-dissolving, 3 = tonifying qi and yang. OS = overall survival, TCM = traditional Chinese medicine.
