RESUMO
Objective To investigate the impacts of cinobufotalin combined with docetaxel+cisplatin chemotherapy on the disease control and the level of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in serum of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods Totally 70 patients with non-small cell lung cancer admitted to Zhejiang Veteran Hospital from March 2019 to March 2022 were included.They were randomly divided into combination group(cinobufotalin combined with docetaxel+cisplatin,n= 35)and control group(docetaxel+cisplatin chemotherapy alone,n=35).The disease control rates of two groups,serum VEGF level,carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),cy-tokeratin 19(CK19)and carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125)were measured using ELISA;life quality of patients was evaluated with the KPS score;The adverse events between two groups were compared.Results The disease control rate in the combination group(33/35,94.29％)was higher than that that of control group(25/35,71.43％,)(P＜0.05).After treatment,the level of VEGF in both groups of patients decreased,and the KPS score increased(P＜0.05)especially in the combination group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the level of serum CEA,CA125,and CK19 of control group and combination group were obviously lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),while those in the combination group were even lower(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse events in the combination group(5/35,14.29％)was lower than that in the control group(13/35,37.14％)(P＜0.05).Conclusions Cinobufotalin combined with docetaxel+cisplatin chemotherapy as a potential new chemotherapy significantly reduces the level of VEGF and tumor biomarkers in serum factor,improves the life quality of patients.The combined therapy is proved tobe safe.
