The treatment of stage III CRC consists of surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with either single agent capecitabine or combination therapy consisting of FOLFOX?or XELOX, all of which have been shown to be effective in improving disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). However, toxicities acquired from chemotherapy can affect a cancer patient’s quality of life and result in early?treatment discontinuation. Common toxicities include hematological, gastrointestinal (GI), constitutional, dermatological, and neurological.?Aim of the Work: The present work was aimed to assess and evaluate chemotherapy toxicities in adjuvant treatment in CRC patients and analyze certain factors that might increase chemotherapy toxicity. Patients and Methods: This is retrospective study included a total of 72 patients of colorectal carcinoma received adjuvant chemotherapy at Clinical Oncology Department, Ain Shams University. The study was conducted between Jan. 2012 and Jan. 2017.

文摘目的探讨益气散结法联合化疗治疗转移去势抵抗性前列腺癌(metastatic castration-resistantprostate cancer,mCRPC)的有效性及安全性。方法将32例mCRPC患者,1∶1随机分为益气散结法联合多西他赛化疗研究组和单纯多西他赛化疗组。根据前列腺癌工作组PCWG-2标准进行疗效评价,比较2组无疾病进展生存期(progress free survival,PFS)、PSA反应率,并进行安全性评价。采用FACT-P问卷调查患者生活质量情况。结果研究组的中位PFS略长于对照组(7.4 m vs 6.6 m),但无统计学差异(P>0.05)。4周期治疗后,2组PSA水平均较治疗前有显著下降(P<0.05)。益气散结法研究组PSA反应率64.29%,对照组38.46%。安全性方面,研究组中性粒细胞减少症、疲劳发生率显著低于对照组(P<0.05)。生活质量评分2组患者均有明显下降(P<0.05)。结论益气散结法联合多西他赛方案化疗能较好提高mCRPC患者的生活质量,降低化疗毒性,改善生存,但仍需大样本随机对照临床研究加以证实。
