Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the effects of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy combined with modified radical mastectomy on clinical effect and tumor markers in patients with breast cancer.  METHODS: According to chemotherapy regimens, a total of 88 advanced colorectal cancer patients were divided into TE group (46 cases) and FEC group (42 cases) from August 2013 to February 2015. All patients received 4 cycles of chemotherapy (1 cycle=21 d). Changes of immune function, MMP and VEGF, adverse reaction and survival situation in two groups were observed and compared. RESULTS: Total lymphocytes, T lymphocyte, helper T lymphocyte and cytotoxic T lymphocyte of TE group had no significant difference before chemotherapy and after chemotherapy (P>0.05); T lymphocyte, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte of FEC group had no significant difference before chemotherapy and after chemotherapy (P>0.05); total lymphocytes and helper T lymphocyte of FEC group decreased significantly after chemotherapy (P<0.05); total lymphocytes and helper T lymphocyte of FEC group were significantly lower than those in TE group (P<0.05); MMP-2 and MMP-9 of two groups decreased significantly after chemotherapy (P<0.05); MMP-2 and MMP-9 of TE group were significantly lower than those in FEC group (P<0.05); VEGF-A and VEGF-B of two groups decreased significantly after chemotherapy (P<0.05); VEGF-A and VEGF-B of TE group were significantly lower than those in FEC group (P<0.05); incidence rate of adverse reactions of TE group was 4.35%, which was 16.67% of FEC group, there was no significant difference between TE group and FEC group (P>0.05); Followed up for 2 years, survival rate of TE group was 84.78%, incidence rate of adverse reactions of FEC group was 64.29%, survival rate of TE group was significantly higher than that in FEC group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: neo-adjuvant chemotherapy combined with modified radical mastectomy has little influence on immune function and fewer adverse reactions, which can restrain MMP and VEGF, and improve survival rate in patients with breast cancer.
