Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of endostatin on postoperative liver metastasis of gastric cancer. Methods Sixty-eight patients with liver metastases after gastric cancer treated in our hospital from February 2015 to June 2016 were divided into control group (n = 34 cases) and study group (n = 34 cases) by pair comparison method. The control group received continuous reperfusion with oxaliplatin through hepatic artery combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment, and the study group was treated with continuous hepatic arterial infusion of recombinant human endostatin on the basis of the control group. Clinical efficacy, 1-year survival, and disease control were compared between the two groups. The total effective rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, incidence of adverse reactions, and changes in serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels were compared before and after treatment. Results The total effective rate, 1-year survival rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival rate, and overall survival rate of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the decreasing degree of VEGF in the study group was more than that in the control group (P < 0.05);there was significant difference in the level of vascular endothelial growth factor between the control group and the study group before and after treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusions The therapeutic effect of endostatin on postoperative liver metastasis of gastric cancer is worthy of recognition. The survival rate of patients is further improved and the serum VEGF level is significantly decreased. The incidence of adverse reactions during the course of drug use is low and it has to be popularized in future clinical treatment.
