Core Tip	We pooled all the studies complied to our inclusion criteria that were retrieved by extensively searching the related databases, journals and websites. Our result suggested that adding traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) increased overall response and complete response rates for malignant hematologic diseases treatment. Although it was based on the evidence of low level of GRADE quality, our result demonstrated that TCM reduced treatment associated serious non-hematologic adverse effects (AEs). Furthermore, considering the rare AEs and drugs interactions, TCM should be included in the hematologic malignances treatment, at least for adult acute leukemia.
