Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with albumin paclitaxel and nedaplatin/cisplatin in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced esophageal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received first-line chemotherapy in Anhui Provincial Hospital Group from October 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty patients received camrelizumab (200 mg d1) + nab-paclitaxel (0.1 d1, d5) + nedaplatin (70 mg/m2 d2) / cisplatin (30 mg d1 to 4), and 32 patients in group B received nab-paclitaxel + nedaplatin/cisplatin regimen. The short-term efficacy, tumor marker levels [carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) ], incidence of toxic and side effects, and prognosis and survival, were compared between the two groups.Results The objective remission rate of group A was higher than that of group B (P < 0.05). Compared with before treatment, the levels of CEA and SCC decreased after treatment (P < 0.05). After treatment, CEA and SCC in group A were lower than those in group B (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidences of diarrhea, gastrointestinal reactions, bone marrow suppression, and liver and kidney function damage between group A and group B during treatment (P > 0.05). The survival rate of patients in group A was higher than that in group B (P < 0.05).Conclusion The first-line treatment of camrelizumab combined with albumin paclitaxel and nedaplatin/cisplatin in elderly patients with advanced esophageal cancer can improve the clinical efficacy, reduce the level of tumor markers, and prolong the short-term survival rate of patients with good safety.
