Objective To investigate the effect of S-1 on serum thymidine kinase-1 ( TK1 ) , vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and tumor biomarkers, estrgen levels and quality of life in patients with advanced breast cancer.Methods 69 cases with advanced breast cancer from January 2014 to May 2015 in the hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups.34 cases in control group were treated by conventional therapy, and 34 cases in experimental group were treated with S-1.Serum TK1, VEGF and IGF-1, tumor biomarkers, estrogen level and quality of life score were compared pre-and post-treatment.ResuIts Compared with control group, the levels of VEGF, IGF-1 and TK1 were lower (P<0.05), serum CA125, CEA and CA15-3 concentrations were lower (P<0.05),the LH, E2 and E1 levels were lower (P<0.05) and the survival quality score was higher in experimental group ( P<0.05 ) .ConcIusion S-1 has better clinical curative effect in treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer, and effectively reduce serum TK1, VEGF, IGF-1, tumor biomarker levels, improve the quality of survival, which has important significance.

Objective To investigate effect of Bailing Capsule combined with Xihuangwan in stage III breast cancer patients of ER, MMP-9, tumor markers and estrogen.Methods 76 Patients with stage III breast cancer were selected and divided into control group anf experiment group.Control group were treated by clinical routine method.Experiment group were treated on the base of the control group with Bailing Capsule combined with Xihuangwan.The ER, MMP-9, tumor markers, estrogen, survival time and quality of life were observed and compared.ResuIts Compared with control group, the survival period of the experiment group were longer(P<0.05),the quality of life score were higher(P<0.05),the ER, MMP-9, E2, E1 level and the serum levels of CA15-3, CA125 and CEA were lower(P<0.05).ConcIusion Bailing capsule combined with Xihuang Pill can effectively reduce stage III breast cancer tumor marker levels, decrease the ER, the expression of MMP-9 and estrogen level and prolong survival time, improve the quality of life, has the vital significance to the clinical therapy for stage III breast cancer.
