Protective Effects of Dexrazoxane Combined with Creatine Phosphate on Cardiac Injury by Anthracycline in Breast Cancer Patients
Objective:To analyze the prophylactic effects and safety of dexrazoxane combined with sodium creatine phosphate on cardiac toxicity of anthracycline in patients with breast cancer.Methods:A total of 200 female breast cancer patients were divided into control group,group A,B and C according to the random number table,50 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were given AC or EC chemotherapy plan;on the basis of AC or EC plan,patients in group A,B or C were additionally given dexrazoxane,creatine phosphate sodium for injection or both.Three weeks was a cycle of chemotherapy.The risk factors of anthracycline cardiotoxicity were analyzed.The changes of electrocardiogram(ECG),my-ocardial enzymes,serum B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP),cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnI),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and incidence of adverse reactions were observed before and after 3 cycles of chemothera-py.Results:Among the 200 patients,49 patients suffered from cardiotoxicity with the incidence of 24.5%.There was a significant difference in the incidence of cardiac injury among the four groups(P<0.05).The order of cardiac injury incidence was control group(50.00%)>group B(24.00%)>group A(16.00%)>group C(8.00%).The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that cardio protective regimen,chemotherapy cycle number>3,cumulative dose of anthracycline>400 mg were associated with cardiac injury(P<0.05).Chemotherapy cycle number>3,cumulative dose of anthracycline>400 mg were indepen-dent risk factors for anthracycline cardiotoxicity,while the use of cardiac protectants was a protective factor.The abnormal rates of ECG in the A,B,C groups were lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).No statistically significant differences of serum level of CK,CK-MB,BNP or cTnI were found among the groups before treatment(P>0.05).After chemotherapy,the levels of BNP and cTnI in the control group were significantly higher than those in the test groups(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Dexrazoxane combined with creatine phosphate sodium is effective and safe in the treatment of anthracicline induced cardiac damage in patients with breast cancer.
