Clinical Study of Compound Kushen Injection Combined with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in the Treatment of Postoperative Patients with Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of compound Kushen injection combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma after radical hysterectomy.Methods:A total of 80 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma who were admitted to a hospital from December 2018 to October 2023 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to different treatment plans,with 40 patients in each group.Both groups underwent radical hysterectomy.Following surgery,the control group received concurrent chemoradiotherapy,and the observation group received compound Kushen injection in addition to the treatment received by the control group,and both groups were treated for 42 days.Tumor markers(squamous cell carcinoma antigen[SCC-Ag]),inflammatory factors[tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-2(IL-2)],immune indicators[natural killer(NK)cell]and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:Following treatment,the serum levels of SCC-Ag,TNF-α and IL-2 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group and the NK cell level was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).During the treatment period,the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Compound Kushen injection combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy can effectively inhibit tumor growth,decrease SCC-Ag and inflammatory factors levels,elevate NK cell levels,and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.
