Mechanism of gemcitabine combined with lobaplatin in interventional treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer.

In order to investigate the mechanism of gemcitabine combined with lobaplatin in the interventional treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), 90 patients with LACC were divided into control group (oxaliplatin + gemcitabine) and experimental group (lobaplatin + gemcitabine) according to different perfusion drugs and embolization drugs, 45 cases in each group. They were treated with arterial chemotherapy and arterial embolization. Postoperative recurrence, metastasis, and survival, as well as changes in serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels before and after treatment were observed in both groups. The results showed that the recurrence rate of cervical cancer at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years after operation in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, P  < 0.05; there was no significant difference in the postoperative cervical cancer metastasis rate, P  > 0.05. Before treatment, the serum VEGF in the experimental group and the control group were (642.76 ±â€…216.67) ng/L and (626.30 ±â€…275.43) ng/L, respectively, and MMP-9 were (580.61 ±â€…194.12) ng/L and (575.28 ±â€…202.55) ng/L, respectively. After treatment, the serum VEGF levels in the experimental group and the control group were (429.24 ±â€…132.69) ng/L and (554.63 ±â€…178.11) ng/L, respectively, and MMP-9 levels were (357.60 ±â€…123.11) ng/L and (461.83 ±â€…144.45) ng/L, respectively. There was no significant difference in the serum VEGF and MMP-9 levels between the two groups before treatment ( P  > 0.05); after treatment, the serum VEGF and MMP-9 levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, P  < 0.05. Therefore, gemcitabine combined with lobaplatin interventional therapy can improve the cure rate of LACC by reducing VEGF and MMP-9 levels in the serum of patients.
