No, but http://tinyurl.com/5bt4la says:

 

Patients with advanced gastric adenoma undergoing chemotherapy were

treated (16) with Shengxue Tang, a decoction containing astragalus,

millettia, ligustrum, cuscuta, lycium, pseudostellaria, atractylodes,

and hoelen; it was reported that 6 weeks administration along with

the chemotherapy resulted in increased platelet counts.

 

Patients with acute leukemia often suffer from thrombocytopenia (low

platelet counts), since the cancerous stem cells that produce

leukocytes crowd out the cells that produce platelets. In a study of

combined Chinese medical and Western medical treament of acute

leukemia (49), 30 patients received standard chemotherapy alone (as a

control) or in combination with a decoction made from two types of

jixueteng (30g each of Spatholobus and Mucuna) and 15g of another

member of the legume family that has similar actions, moghania

(yitiaogen), plus a complex formula containing cynanchum,

frankincense, phragmites, hoelen, cissus, pueraria, rehmannia,

polygonatum, ligustrum, and oldenlandia (each herb in dosages of 10-

30g). According to the report, in addition to improving the level of

platelets and red blood cells, the herbs contributed to a higher rate

of remission than in the control group (83% vs. 63%) and a longer

average duration of remission (390 days vs. 268 days).

 

Herbs used to Tx thrombocytopenic purpura might help also:

 

Changchunhua, Dazao, Digupi, Ejiao, Gancao, Huashengyi, Jinqiaomai,

Leigongteng, Lianqiao, Qingfengteng, Xuanshen, Yumixu

 

Also consider herbs to Tx bleeding / anaemia / Nourish Xue

 

plus acupuncture / acupressure on points to Rectify Xue / Tx bleeding

/ Support SP Fx to Restrain Xue, like: SP10, BL17, BL20,

 

+/- Pts from:

CV04; CV06; CV12; HT06; HT07; LU03; LU06; LV01; LV02; SP01; SP04;

SP06; ST36
