Clinical Study of Recombinant Human Endostatin Combined with Iressa in Targeted Treatment of Patients with Lung Adenocarcinoma with Pleural Metastasis

Objective: To evaluate and comprehensively analyze the clinical efficacy of recombinant human endostatin combined with Iressa targeted therapy in patients with pleural metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: The interval of the selected study period span was from January 2017 to April 2021. The sample source of the study was 42 patients with lung adenocarcinoma admitted to hospital. The random number table method was used for study grouping, and they were further divided into study groups (n = 21, 14 cases with pleural metastasis) and control group (n=21, 13 cases with pleural metastasis), all patients received systemic chemotherapy with pemetrexed and cisplatin. Patients with pleural metastases in the control group were injected with 60 mg cisplatin into the thoracic cavity. Patients in the study group were treated with Iressa (gefitinib) targeted therapy if genetic testing showed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGRF) mutations, and patients with pleural metastases were treated with pleural metastasis with Endo (recombinant human endostatin YH-16) to control pleural effusion. Two sets of related indicators were compared and analyzed. Results: Comparing the short-term disease control rate, treatment effectiveness and long-term survival rate between the two groups shows that the study group has more advantages (P 0.05). Based on statistics of the recurrence rate of pleural fluid in the two groups, the study group is significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Recombinant human endostatin combined with Iressa targeted therapy for patients with lung adenocarcinoma with pleural metastasis has significant short-term and long-term effects without serious adverse reactions. It can be fully promoted in medical institutions at all levels.
