Objective: To study the effect of apatinib combined with seggio on the expression of serum AFP and CA724 and the long-term survival rate in advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing comfort nursing intervention.
Methods: 98 advanced gastric cancer patients were divided into single-drug group and joint group. Both groups of patients were given comfort nursing intervention, the single-drug group was treated with seggio, and the joint group was treated with apatinib and seggio. The clinical efficacy, survival rate, relationship between the tumor markers and the survival time, serum tumor markers levels (CA724 and AFP), inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-10) levels, quality-of-life scores, and immunity function were measured after treatment.
Results: The clinical efficacy in the joint group was better than that in the single-drug group. The three-year survival time in the joint group was upregulated relative to the single-drug group. The patients with high expression of CA724 or AFP had a lower survival time than the patients with low expression of CA724 or AFP. After treatment, IL-10 and IL-4 levels were obviously decreased, and the joint group showed a more obvious decrease compared with the single-drug group. The quality-of-life scores were significantly upregulated after treatment, and compared with the joint group, the scores in the single drug-group were obviously higher. The CD4+/CD8+, CD4+, and CD3+ levels were increased, while CD8+ levels were decreased after treatment, and the changes of each index in the joint group were more significant than those in the single-drug group. The content of CA724 and AFP were significantly decreased after treatment, and the joint group showed a more significant decrease than the single-drug group.
Conclusion: Apatinib combined with seggio for advanced gastric cancer patients' treatment based on comfort nursing intervention can improve the clinical efficacy and survival time, reduce inflammatory factors and serum tumor markers levels, enhance patients' immune function, and quality of life.
