Abstract:
Objective Based on the data of gemcitabine adverse reactions (ADR), the characteristics and patterns of ADR occurrence were analyzed. The guidance for the rational clinical use of gemcitabine was provided. Methods From our information system, the patients treated by gemcitabine chemotherapy from September 2008 to September 2018 were selected and their related ADRs were summarized and statistically analyzed by using SPSS 18.0. Results Among the 750 cases, there were 312 ADRs related to gemcitabine treatment, of which the incidence of ADR was higher in female patients than in male patients (48.68% vs 36.77%) and the highest incidence in the age group of 50-69 years (44.14%). The patients with lower status (KPS) scores were more sensitive to chemotherapeutic drugs, and more likely to develop ADR. During the combination therapy, gemcitabine+paclitaxel chemotherapy had the highest incidence of ADR (61.54%) and the highest incidence of ADR in thymic carcinoma (62.50%), followed by hematological and reproductive system tumors (58.62% and 57.14%, respectively); ADR involvement in organs/systems is mainly caused by hematological toxicity. The bone marrow suppression is common, followed by digestive system damage. The major clinical symptoms were nausea and vomit. Conclusion Gemcitabine-related ADR has a large individualized difference and is affected by many factors. Chemotherapy should be used according to individual conditions to improve clinical safety and rational use of drugs.
