th day, 0.4 g/time, twice daily. Patients in the treatment group were iv administered with Compound Kushen Injection on the basis of the control group, 20 mL added into 250 mL normal saline, once daily, and 14 d for a course of treatment. They were repeated the next course of treatment after rest for 14 d, and they were treated for three courses of treatment. After treatment, the clinical efficacy, pain relief rate, and the improvement of survival quality were evaluated, and the change of cytokines in two groups before and after treatment were compared. Results After treatment, the clinical efficacies in the control and treatment groups were 20.31% and 32.81%, respectively, and there was difference between two groups (P<0.05). At the same time the clinical benefit rate in two groups were 59.38% and 79.69%, respectively, with significant difference between two groups (P<0.01). After treatment, the pain relief rate in the control was 48.44%, which was significantly lower than 65.63% in the treatment group (P<0.01). After treatment, TNF-α in the control group was significantly increased, IFN-γ and TNF-α in the treatment group was significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant in the same group (P<0.05). And these indicators in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group, with significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). In the process of treatment, incidence of adverse reactions in the control was 60.94%, which was significantly higher than 46.88% in the treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusion Compound Kushen Injection combined with sorafenib has a significant efficacy in treatment of advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma, which can relief the pain, improve life quality, immune function, and has a certain clinical application value."/>
