Abstract
Purpose To explore the effects of traditional Chinese medicine for vaginal lavage combined with psychological intervention on the immune function and clinical efficacy in patients with cervical cancer. Methods Patients with cervical cancer treated in our hospital from January 2020 to May 2021 were included in this study. All patients were treated with traditional Chinese medicine for vaginal lavage combined with psychological nursing intervention. The treatment outcomes of the patients were observed, and the quality-of-life scores and depression of the patients before and after treatment were compared. Changes in T-lymphocyte subset-related indicators, changes in blood routine-related indicators, and changes in the detection level of tumor markers were compared with anxiety scores. Results After treatment, depression and anxiety were significantly reduced and the patient's quality of life significantly improved. After treatment, the patient's CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+ proportions were dramatically higher than before treatment (P < 0.05), there was no significant difference in CD8+ proportion before and after treatment (P > 0.05), and the white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet (PLT) of patients, and the level of tumor marker (CA125) after treatment were immensely lower than before treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusions Treating patients with cervical cancer with traditional Chinese medicine for vaginal lavage combined with psychological nursing can effectively improve the patient's immune function, effectively reduce the level of tumor marker CA125, increase the level of T-lymphocyte subsets, and improve the bone marrow hematopoietic function.

Summary
Cancer is a leading condition that threatens human health and life, and its incidence and mortality are rapidly increasing. ere are 4.29 million new cancer cases every year, accounting for 20% of the world’s share, and 2.81 million deaths. e prevention and treatment of cancer are urgent needs [1]. Cancer is a leading condition that threatens human health and life, and its incidence and mortality are rapidly increasing. Gynecological malignant tumors have the characteristics of high morbidity and high mortality in the world, and their tendency in youth has become more evident in recent years, which seriously threatens the life and health of women. E incidence of cervical cancer ranks second among gynecological malignancies in the world [2, 3]. According to the World Health Organization data, there are 530,000 new cases each year, and about 250,000 women die from cervical cancer. In China, there are about 140,000 new cases of cervical cancer and about 37,000 deaths each year, which is a high incidence area for cancer [4,5,6,7]. Chemotherapy is commonly used in cervical cancer treatment.
