OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy combined with intraperitoneal perfusion of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells for advanced gastric cancer patients with ascites.

METHODSFrom January 2008 to December 2010, 42 advanced gastric cancer patients with ascites in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled in the study. According to personal choice, patients were divided into 2 groups: XELOX chemotherapy alone (Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin) was applied in 22 patients (chemotherapy group) and XELOX combined with intraperitoneal perfusion of CIK cells in 20 patients (combination group). The efficacy, safety, and immunological function, including the time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score, immunity index (CD4+/CD8+ ratio), volume of peritoneal fluid, were compared between two groups.

RESULTSCompared with the chemotherapy group after treatment, the combination group had a higher KPS score (78.0±9.8 vs. 70.0±8.9, P=0.009), less volume of 2-cycle peritoneal fluid drainage [(4500±1218) ml vs. (5527±1460) ml, P=0.018 ], longer median TTP (4.0 vs. 2.5 months, P=0.001) and OS (11.0 vs. 6.0 months, P=0.006), higher ratio of CD4+/CD8+ (1.34±0.36 vs. 0.96±0.26, P=0.001). While no significant significances were found between the two groups in disease response rate (35.0% vs. 22.7%, P=0.499) and disease control rate (75.0% vs. 54.5%, P=0.209). There were no serious adverse reactions in the combination group.

CONCLUSIONSAs compared with XELOX chemotherapy alone, the combination immunological treatment of XELOX chemotherapy and intraperitoneal perfusion of CIK cells possesses better efficacy for the advanced gastric cancer patients with ascites, which can prolong the survival and enhance the immunological function with favorable safety.

OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (BEV) plus chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

METHODSSeventy-seven mCRC patients received BEV plus 5-Fu type, oxaliplatin or irinotecan-based chemotherapy. The clinical efficacy and bevacizumab-related adverse reactions were observed. The efficacy assessment was conducted after at least 2 cycles of BEV therapy. The adverse reactions were recorded in each therapy cycle. Among the 77 cases, 64 patients had finished the efficacy assessment. The adverse reactions in all patients were assessed.

RESULTSThe overall response rate (ORR) of BEV plus chemotherapy regimen was 18.75% (12/64), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 75.0% (48/64). In 27 patients who received the regimen as first-line treatment, the ORR reached 37.0% (10/27), while the DCR was 85.2%. Four patients with potentially resectable lesions became resectable after the regimen and received R0 resection of the liver metastases successfully. Twenty-five patients who received the regimen as second line therapy had poor result with ORR 8.0% and DCR 76.0%. Hypertension was observed in 12 cases, with 8 cases of grade 1, 3 cases of grade 2, 1 case of grade 3. Various bleedings occurred in 24/77 cases (31.2%), all were of grade 1-2, including 17 cases of epistaxis, grade 1 hemorrhoid bleeding in one case, hematuria in 3 case (2 of grade 1, 1 of grade 2), GI bleeding in 2 cases, hemoptysis in 1 case (grade 2), and proteinuria in 4 cases (grade 1). Intestinal perforation occurred in 1 case (0.3%). In two patients who had incomplete intestinal obstruction history appeared exacerbated intestinal obstruction symptoms after the application of BEV plus CPT11 regimen.

CONCLUSIONSBEV plus chemotherapy regimen as first-line treatment can improve the ORR and DCR of mCRC patients. When it was used as second- or later-line therapy, it may display satisfied DCR, although with a poor efficacy. The bevacizumab-related toxicity is mild and can be well tolerated.
