Abstract:
Objective To observe the efficacy and untoward reactions of FOLFOX4 regimen and XELOX regimen in the treatment of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.Methods Fifty four advanced colorectal cancer patients were randomly divided into two groups.Group A (FOLFOX4):28 patients were treated with oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 on day 1,LV 200 mg/m2 as a 2h infusion followed by bolus 5 -FU 400 mg/m2 and a 24h infusion of 5 -Fu 600 mg/m2 ,repeated for consecutive days every 2 weeks.One cycle was 14 days and efficacy was evaluated after 4 cycles.Group B(XELOX):26 patients were treated with oxaliplation 130mg/m2 on day 1,capecitabine 1 000 mg/m2 orally daily for 14 days.One cycle was 21 or 28 days and efficacy was evaluated after 2 cycles.Efficacy of the two groups was evaluated at 2 cycles.Results All 54 patients were available for evaluating objective response.In A group,the overall response rate was 46.4%,and the overall response rate was 42.3% in B group.The overall response rate of A group was slightly higher than B group,but there was no statistically significant difference(χ2 =0.093,P =0.791 ).Adverse reactions:thrombocytopenia incidence rate and the peripheral nerve toxicity had no significant differences between the two groups(χ2 =0.552,0.108,P =0.550,0.787).The incidence rates of nausea, vomit,diarrhea and leucocytopenia in B group were lower than those in A group(χ2 =9.495,4.862,6.273,P =0.003,0.033,0.108).The incidence rate of hand -foot syndrome was higher in B group than in A group(χ2 =13.389,P =0.000),but the severity was less(grade Ⅰ ~Ⅱ).Conclusion The response rate in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer was similar between XELOX and FOLFOX4 regiments,but XELOX regiment has the advantages of more convenience,better safety.Thus,XELOX regiment is worth recommending as a first -line therapy for the treatment of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
