- Abstract
The main objective of this study is to check the efficacy of the combinational chemotherapy regimen and Qing Gong Detoxification Soup on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition gene expression, immune homeostasis mechanism, and tumor markers in patients with cervical cancer. In the present study, 88 individuals with cervical cancer were selected as experimental and control groups, 44 cases each, using the random number table method. The clinical efficacy, expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition genes (Vimentin, N-cadherin, E-cadherin, α-catenin), Th1/Th2 (T helper cell 1/T helper cell 2), cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-2, IL-6), tumor markers (CEA, SCCA, CA125), TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) symptom score and adverse reactions were investigated throughout the entire study. Our results clearly indicated the significant effectiveness of our combinational therapy in the treatment of cancer by 84.09% in comparison to the control group (63.64%). No significant differences in the primary and secondary symptom scoresÍ? i.e., IFN-γ (Interferon-gamma), IL-2 (Interleukin-2), IL-4 (Interleukin-4), IL-6 (Interleukin-6), CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen), SCCA (squamous cell carcinoma antigen), and expression of several epithelialmesenchymal transition genes, IFN-γ, as well as IL-2 between experimental and control groups were observed before starting the therapy. IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, CEA, SCCA and CA125 (cancer antigen 125) scores were significantly improved after treatment in both groups, although the study group outperformed the control group and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). We also found that the incidence of adverse reactions was 9.09% in the experimental group which was lower than 25.00% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). This study confirmed that combinational therapy of Qing Gong Detoxification Soup and TP (paclitaxel-cisplatin) chemotherapy significantly enhanced the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation gene, repaired immune homeostasis, inhibited tumor markers, and reduced the occurrence of adverse reactions.
