Huaier granules after pancreatic cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine called Huaier granules works better than standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that was removed by surgery. Participants can choose to take Huaier granules or standard chemotherapy, and researchers will compare outcomes.
