Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human endostatin combined with chemotherapy on serum LMTK-3 and IGFBP-7 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods Totally 86 cases of patients diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2015 were involved in this study. Patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group (n = 43). Patients from control group received gemcitabine + cisplatin chemotherapy. Patients from observation group received endostar in addition to standard treatment. The therapeutic efficacy, side effects and concentration of VEGF, IGF-1, LMTK-3 and IGFBP were recorded. Results The therapeutic efficacy in observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2 = 5.403, 7.493, P < 0.05). No statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups was observed. The levels of VEGF, IGF-1 and LMTK-3 in both groups were significantly increased while GFBP decreased post treatments when compared with that prior to treatments (P < 0.05). Concentrations of VEGF, IGF-1 and LMTK-3 in observation group were downregulated while IGFBP-7 upregulated significantly when compared with control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Recombinant human endostatin combined with chemotherapy is a promising option for treatment of NSCLC patients with good efficacy and less adverse reactions.
