Abstract:Objective To provide more choices for clinical medication by retrospectively analyzing the efficacy and safety of dicitabine combined with CHG regimen in treating the senile acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods The elderly patients with AML who underwent initial treatment in our hospital from January 2012 to April 2019 were selected. 28 cases were involved in the observation group, which were treated with dicitabine combined with CHG (recombinant granulocyte colony stimulating factor + homoharringtonate + cytarabine), as the induction remission regimen, while 25 cases involved in the control group were treated with IA as the induction remission regimen. Followingly, the observation and survival analysis of efficacy, adverse reactions, and blood product transfusion of the patients in the two groups were performed. Results After 2 courses of treatment, the CR rate and effective rate of the observation group and the control group was 64% and 75%, and 56% and 64%, respectively; the difference between the two groups had no statistical significance (P?>?0.05). After the first course of chemotherapy in the two groups, compared with the control group, the observation group had less agranulocytosis time (P?0.05), shorter time with PLT < 20×109/L (P?0.05), less red blood cell and platelet transfusion (P?0.05), non-hematological adverse reactions, less grade 3 to 4 infection (P?0.05) and lower incidence rate of pulmonary infection (P?0.05). There was no significant difference in PFS and OS between the control group and the observation group (P?>?0.05). Conclusion Dicitabine combined with CHG regimen is effective in the treatment of elderly patients with AML, with mild bone marrow suppression and fewer adverse reactions, and patient's tolerance with the treatment regimen is better than that with the traditional regimen.
