The above therapeutic results show that TCM drugs have excellent effects in counteracting the metastasis of tumors. They can produce a synergistic effect when used together with surgery, radio- and chemotherapy. In analyzing the relationship between the factors that affect the distant metastasis, the authors strongly recommend that the FDM-survival rate be used, i.e. the survival rate free from distant metastasis as suggested by Hong Minghuang et al in their article. An analysis based on FDM-survival rate in a duration of three or five years with the data treated with the Kaplan-Meier and/or Life Table would be rational and convincible.
上述治疗结果表明，中药在对抗肿瘤转移方面具有显著疗效。与手术、放疗和化疗联合使用时，可产生协同作用。在分析影响远处转移的因素之间的关系时，作者强烈建议采用FDM生存率，即洪明煌等人在其文章中所建议的无远处转移生存率。采用Kaplan-Meier法和/或寿命表对三至五年的数据进行FDM生存率分析将是合理且有说服力的。
