Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of Sapylin combined with intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer following radical operation on local recurrence, hepatic metastasis, and overall survival rate.
METHODSFrom Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2005,132 patients with stage II or III colon carcinoma after radical operation were randomly divided into two groups: Sapylin combined with chemotherapy(Sapylin) group and the control group. Toxic reaction, local recurrence, hepatic metastasis, and overall survival rate between two groups were compared.
RESULTSBoth groups successfully completed the trial. There was no significant difference in toxic reaction between two groups, the recurrence and hepatic metastasis rate in Sapylin group were lower than those in the control group(9/60, 15.0% vs. 22/72, 30.6%; 11/60,18.3% vs. 22/72, 34.7%, respectively), which were statistically significant (P<0.05 respectively). The 3- year survival rate in Sapylin group was higher than that in control group(73.3% vs. 54.2%), which was statistically significant (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSapylin combined with intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy can effectively decrease local recurrence and hepatic metastasis,and improve the survival in patients with advanced colon cancer following radical operation.
