Core Tip This randomized clinical trial demonstrates that adjunctive modified Pingwei Baohe decoction (MPBD), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, significantly improves postoperative outcomes in gastric cancer patients. Compared to chemotherapy alone, MPBD combined with chemotherapy enhanced immune function (increased CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ ratio), reduced inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α), improved nutritional status (lower CONUT score), and accelerated recovery of gastrointestinal function (shorter time to first flatus and bowel sounds). MPBD represents a promising integrative therapy to support recovery after radical gastrectomy.
