Clinical Observation on 22 Cases of Advanced Gastric Cancer with Chemotherapy Failure Treated with Combined Qizhu Formula and FOLFOX4
Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of combined treatment of Qizhu Formula and FOLFOX4 on advanced gastric cancer patients after failure of first-line chemotherapy. Methods Totally 44 patients with advanced gastric cancer who failed first-line chemotherapy were divided randomly into treatment group and control group
each with 22 patients. Treatment group was given Qizhu Formula orally
1 dose per day
with FOLFOX4 chemotherapy
whereas control group was merely given FOLFOX4 chemotherapy. The treatments were continuously applied unless progression
or untolerable toxicity
or patients ’ rejection of chemotherapy occured. Improvement of clinical symptoms
quality of life
tumor response
progression free survival( PFS)
overall survival( OS)
adverse effects and the expression of P-glycoprotein( Pg-p)
glutathione S-transferase( GST-π)
topoisomerase Ⅱ( Topo-Ⅱ) of two groups were compared. Results Improvement of clinical symptoms
PFS
OS in the treatment group was notedly better than that in the control group( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). The expression of Pg-p
GST-π
Topo-Ⅱin treatment group showed no obvious change after treatments( P > 0. 05). The expression of Pg-p
Topo-Ⅱ in control group also showed no obvious change after treatments( P > 0. 05)
but the expression of GST-π after treatments was observably higher than before( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Combined treatment of Qizhu Formula and FOLFOX4 on advanced gastric cancer patients who failed first-line chemotherapy has the effect of enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity. Stabilizing the expression of GST-π may be one of the reasons of its efficacy-enhancing effect.
