Abstract:
Objective:To explore the efficacy of letrozole combined with palbociclib in the treatment of hormone receptor +/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 - (HR +/HER2 -) advanced breast cancer and its influence on serum thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Ki67) levels. Methods:A total of 82 patients with HR +/HER2 - advanced breast cancer, all admitted from Jan. 2022 to Jan. 2024 from Department of Oncology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University, were assigned to the control group ( n=41, letrozole) and the study group ( n=41, letrozole + palbociclib) according to the random number table. The therapeutic effect, tumor markers, immune function and serum TK1 and Ki67 levels were compared between the two groups. Results:The study group higher objective response rate and disease control rate than the other group [14.63% (6/41) and 85.37% (35/41) vs. 0.00% (0/41) and 58.54% (24/41) ] (Continuity correction χ2/χ2=4.50, 7.31, P<0.05). After treatment, carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153), CA125 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the study group were lower than the control group [ (12.17±3.19) U/mL, (23.57±3.35) U/mL and (19.51±4.13) ng/mL vs (24.37±5.25) U/mL, (35.16±5.08) U/mL, (34.28±5.72) ng/mL] ( t=12.72, 12.20, 13.41, P<0.05), serum TK1 and Ki67 levels were also lower [ (3.61±0.75) pmol/L and (7.89±1.16) ng/mL vs. (4.76±0.88) pmol/L and (10.85±1.94) ng/mL] ( t=6.37, 8.39, P<0.05). After treatment, CD3 +, CD4 +, CD4 +/CD8 + higher than the control group [ (48.64±5.88) %, (31.34±4.06) %, (1.22±0.27) vs. (43.16±6.09) %, (27.04±3.35) %, (0.87±0.35) ] ( t=4.15, 5.23, 5.07, P<0.05), while CD8 + was lower [ (25.73±4.11) % vs. (30.94±4.47) %] ( t = 5.49, P<0.05) . Conclusions:Letrozole combined with palbociclib is effective in the treatment of HR +/HER2 - advanced breast cancer and can reduce tumor markers and serum TK1 and Ki67 levels in patients.
