Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy of bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced cervical cancer, as well as its effects on tumor markers and immune function.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 patients with advanced cervical cancer who received treatment at Yiwu Central Hospital from January 2020 to March 2024. The patients were divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 30 per group) based on whether they received bevacizumab. Patients in the observation group received bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy, while those in the control group received chemotherapy alone. The two groups were evaluated over two consecutive treatment cycles, with each cycle lasting 21 days. Short-term efficacy was compared between the two groups. The Karnofsky score, tumor markers, and immune function were assessed before and after treatment in both groups. Additionally, the incidence of adverse reactions was compared between the two groups. Results:The objective response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [73.33% (22/30) vs. 46.67% (14/30), χ2 = 4.44, P<0.05]. After treatment, the Karnofsky score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(83.39 ± 4.43) vs. (75.48 ± 4.06), t = 7.21, P<0.001]. The serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 125, carcinoembryonic antigen, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in the observation group were all significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = -11.27, -8.91, -13.33, all P<0.001). CD 3+, CD 4+, and CD 4+/CD 8+ were significantly higher in the observation group compared with the control group ( t = 10.20, 10.74, 10.17, all P<0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions did not differ significantly between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:In patients with advanced cervical cancer, bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy demonstrates better efficacy than chemotherapy alone. The combined therapy is more effective in lowering serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 125, carcinoembryonic antigen, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9, as well as enhancing immune function, without increasing adverse reactions compared with chemotherapy alone.
