Abstract:【Objective】 To observe the efficacy of autologous cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells combined with XELOX regimen in the treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer. 【Methods】 A total of 65 patients with advanced gastric cancer confirmed by pathology were retrospective analyzed. They were randomly divided into two groups with 32 cases in observation group and 33 cases in control group. The observation group was given CIK cells combined with XELOX regimen, while the control group was given XELOX regimen alone. The recent curative effect, immunity and side effects were compared between both groups after two cycles of chemotherapy. 【Results】 The Objective Response Rate (ORR) was 46.88% in the observation group and 39.39% in the control group; the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The Disease Control Rate (DCR) was 78.13% in the observation group and 54.55% in the control group, the difference between both groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment CD3+, CD4+, CD56 and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ were significantly increased in the observation group (P < 0.05). The incidences of side effects in the observation group were obviously lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). 【Conclusions】 Autologous CIK cells combined with XELOX regimen could increase the curative effectand enhance the immunity of the patients with advanced gastric cancer, meanwhile reduce side effects.
