Summary

Immunity of cancer patients is an important issue. According to cancer immunity, it can be divided into three phases: clearance phase, equilibrium phase, and escape phase (cancer cells can avoid the recognition of immune cells). Βeta-glucans is extracted from yeast, it can increase immune function and drive of hematopoietic stem cells in animals and clinical trials. Glutamine can increase the repair of oral and intestinal mucosa of patients receiving chemical and radiation therapy and can increase the lymphocytes of patients. Colostrum contains IgA, IgG, IgM, etc., known to protect the baby Cancer patients who are infected with intestinal bacteria and undergo systemic chemotherapy are less immune than normal adults.

Investigators will compare β-glucan, glutamine, and colostrum immunoglobulin powder with β-glucan and control group, each group has 30 people, and observe the side effects and blood of patients under standard chemotherapy. The performance of the immune system, such as helpers and cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, and to observe the differences in treatment interruption or delay rates and treatment rates.
