Abstract:

 AIM: To explore the effect of gimeracil capsules combined with radiotherapy on breast cancer, and on tumor marker, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) and level of midkine (MK).  METHODS: Sixty-four breast cancer patients were selected by random number table method from January 2010 to May 2016 in our hospital, sixty-two cases in each group. The control group was treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy; the study group was treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and gimeracil capsule; the therapy continued for 2 courses of treatment. Clinical efficacy and adverse reaction incidence rate were compared between two groups; tumor markers (CEA, CA125, CA153) and changes of MK, HER-2 level were analyzed. RESULTS:The effective rate (50%) and tumor control rate (81.25%) of the study group were higher than those of the control group (25%, 53.13%), the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05); Before treatment, no significant difference of CEA, CA125, CA153 was observed between groups (P>0.05), while all the indexes decreased after treatment, and the study group presented more significant change than the control group (P<0.05); Before treatment, no significant difference of HER-2 and MK level was observed between groups (P>0.05), while all the indexes decreased after treatment, and the study group presented more significant change than the control group (P<0.05). Both groups presented no IV degrees of adverse reactions, and compared with control group (31.24%, 37.51%, 34.37%), the incidence of leucopenia, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting (34.38%, 34.38%, 37.51%) of the study group presented no statistically significance (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Gimeracil capsules combined with radiotherapy exhibited remarkable effect on breast cancer, and on the serum tumor markers, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 and midkine expression level. With high safety, it is worthy of promotion.
