Abstract:
Objective To explore the influence of Buqi Qingchang Decoction(composed of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction plus Baitouweng Decoction with Curcumae Radix and Curcumae Longae Rhizoma added)combined with XELOX chemotherapy and Bevacizumab targeted therapy on the clinical efficacy,quality of life and survival period of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer of qi deficiency and damp-heat syndrome.Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 70 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer of qi deficiency and damp-heat syndrome who were admitted to the Department of Oncology,Chongqing Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(Chongqing Beibei District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine)from December 2020 to December 2023.The patients were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the therapy,with 35 cases in each group.The control group was treated with XELOX chemotherapy combined with Bevacizumab targeted therapy,while the observation group was given oral administration of Buqi Qingchang Decoction together with chemotherapy and targeted therapy.The changes in the serum levels of tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)and carbohydrate antigen 199(CA199),and Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)scores for quality of life in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.Moreover,the clinical efficacy,progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After treatment,the objective response rate(ORR)and disease control rate(DCR)in the observation group were 51.42％(18/35)and 85.71％(30/35),respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group[25.71％(9/35)and 54.29％(19/35),respectively],and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(2)The PFS of the observation group was 16.7 months and that of the control group was 12.9 months,and the OS of the observation group was 23.3 months and that of the control group was 17.7 months.The PFS and OS of the observation group were significantly longer than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the levels of serum CEA and CA199 in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the KPS scores were significantly increased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).The decrease of serum CEA and CA1 99 levels and the increase of KPS scores in the observation group were superior to those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion XELOX chemotherapy and Bevacizumab regimen combined with Buqi Qingchang Decoction exerts certain effect in treating metastatic colorectal cancer.The combined therapy is effective on enhancing the efficacy to a certain extent,prolonging the survival period of patients,reducing the risk of disease progression,decreasing the levels of serum tumor markers,and improving the quality of life of patients.
