Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of gefitinib combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma.

Methods

Eighty patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to June 2018 were selected for this study. The patients were divided randomly into a study group (n=38) and a control group (n=42). The study group received treatment regimen of gefitinib combined with chemotherapy, while the control group received treatment regimen of erlotinib combined with chemotherapy. The clinical efficacy, tumor size changes and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

Results

The total control rate of the study group was 73.7%, higher than that of the control group (50.0%), with statistical significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The proportion of tumor enlargement in the study group was 13.2%, lower than that of the control group (35.0%), with statistical significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The incidences of bone marrow depression and liver damage in the study group were 47.4% and 31.6%, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (74.0% and 65.0%, respectively), with statistical significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Gefitinib can improve the anticancer effect of advanced lung adenocarcinoma, reduce the occurrence of somatic discomfort, and control the proliferation of cancer cells. Therefore, gefitinib may be considered as an anticancer regimen.
