This study evaluated the relationship between the clinical efficacy, histopathological changes and tumor microenvironment of the pharmacopharmacologic Lifei Xiaoji Wan in the treatment of early stage lung adenocarcinoma, and improved high-level clinical evidence and action targets for the prevention and treatment of early stage lung cancer by traditional Chinese medicine
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality. The microenvironment of tumor plays an important role in its occurrence and development.Traditional Chinese medicine has great advantages in the prevention and treatment of ground glass pulmonary nodules, but there is a lack of high-level clinical evaluation evidence and precise mechanism of action.Lifei Xiaoji Wan is a prescription based on the theory of "gas accumulation causing cancer". It has good curative effect in treating non-small cell lung cancer. In this study, a single-center randomized controlled study was used to set up a treatment group and a control group to observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy of Lifeixiaoji pills on patients with early stage lung adenocarcinoma of ground glass nodules. Flow cytometry, PCR array and multiple fluorescence immunofluorescence were used to detect the tumor microenvironment in lung cancer tissues. To investigate the effect of Lifeixiaoji pill on tumor microenvironment and its mechanism of action on early lung adenocarcinoma.

RECRUITINGLung Cancer Quality of Life Scale (FACT-L)
FACT-L scale was used to record the patients' physiological status, social/family status, emotional status and functional status
Time frame: There are 36 items in the scale, and each item is scored as 0~4 points, with a total score range of 0-144 points (minimum: 0 points; maximum value: 144 points).Higher dimensions and total scores indicate higher.Change from baseline at month 1 and 2.
TCM symptoms and syndromes
The evaluation was carried out according to the standard of TCM syndrome of lung cancer in Guiding Principles for Clinical Research of New Chinese Medicine
Time frame: Change from baseline at month 1 and 2.
Evaluation of tumor efficacy using RECIST criteria to measure changes in tumor body
The changes of tumor body and lesion were observed and the therapeutic effect on tumor was evaluated
Time frame: Every 1 month, assessed up to 2 months, CT was collected for imaging analysis and measurement.RECIST criteria for tumor efficacy evaluation:The extent of growth or shrinkage of the target lesion (unit: mm).
Tumor markers:CEA
Tumor marker CEA levels.
Time frame: Every 1 month, assessed up to 2 months.
Tumor markers:CA211
