Results: After treatment, CD3 +, CD4 +, and CD4 + / CD8 + were higher than the control group (P < 0.05), and CD8 + in the observation group was lower than the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of chemotherapy adverse effects was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of white peony root decoction and acupuncture therapy for breast cancer patients can improve immune function and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions to chemotherapy.
