A new study finds that the herb milk thistle may help treat liver inflammation in cancer patients who receive chemotherapy. (sciencedaily.com)
To test whether milk thistle could help treat chemotherapy associated liver problems, Kara Kelly, MD, of the New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center's Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York City and colleagues conducted a randomized, controlled, double blind study in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), who commonly experience this side effect. (sciencedaily.com)
Fifty children with ALL were enrolled in the study and were randomized to receive milk thistle or placebo for 28 days. (sciencedaily.com)
When the investigators performed liver function tests on the children at day 56 (28 days after receiving the herb or placebo), children receiving milk thistle had improvements in their liver enzymes compared with children receiving a placebo. (sciencedaily.com)
Specifically, the group that took milk thistle had significantly lower levels of AST and a trend towards significantly lower levels of ALT. (sciencedaily.com)
Taking milk thistle also seemed to help keep fewer patients from having to lower the dose of their medications: chemotherapy doses were reduced in 61 percent of the group receiving milk thistle, compared with 72 percent of the placebo group. (sciencedaily.com)
The researchers also studied the effects of combining milk thistle with chemotherapy on leukemia cells grown in the laboratory. (sciencedaily.com)
They found that milk thistle does not interfere with the cancer-fighting properties of chemotherapy. (sciencedaily.com)
Milk thistle needs to be studied further, to see how effective it is for a longer course of treatment, and whether it works well in reducing liver inflammation in other types of cancers and with other types of chemotherapy," said Dr. Kelly. (sciencedaily.com)
