Objective To investigate the effects of tegafur combined with gemcitabine on the objective response rate (ORR), serumcarbohydrate antigen 242 (CA242), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level and Karnofsky perfor-mance status (KPS) score in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods A total of 70 patients with advanced pancreatic can-cer admitted to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital from March 2017 to September 2018 were selected as the re-search objects. They were randomly divided into study group and control group, with 35 cases in each group. The patients in the studygroup were treated with tegafur + gemcitabine, while the patients in the control group were treated with gemcitabine alone. The ORR af-ter treatment and changes of serum CA242, CA199, CEA level and KPS score before and after treatment were observed, and the safetyof treatment plan and 1-year survival of the two groups were compared.Results The ORR and the disease control rate (DCR) of thestudy group were 42.86% (15/35) and 82.86% (29/35), respectively, which were significantly higher than 20.00% (7/35) and 60.00%(21/35) of the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05); after treatment, the se-rum CA242, CA199 and CEA level of the two groups weresignificantly lower than those before treatment, and the serum CA242, CA199and CEA level of the study group [(26.34±8.54)U/mL, (87.62±25.67)U/mL, (7.23±2.11)μg/L] were significantly lower than those of thecontrol group [(40.63±12.21)U/mL, (126.24±32.33)U/mL, (14.12±3.67)μg/L] (P<0.05); after treatment, KPS scores of the study groupwas significantly higher than before treatment, and KPS score of the study group (85.52±14.44) score was significantly higher than thatof the control group (78.45±12.88) score (P<0.05).Conclusions The clinical effective rate and control rate of tegafur combined withgemcitabine in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer are higher than those of single gemcitabine treatment, and under the condi-tion of safety, it can also adjust the serum CA242, CA199 and CEA levels as soon as possible and improve the quality of life of patients. |
