Abstract:
Objective To perform a meta-analysis in the clinical efficacy and safety of the therapy protocols and provide a large data demonstration for esophageal cancer(EC)by Oxaliplatin out of instructions combined with Capecitabine.
Methods Researching PubMed, the Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP and Wangfang data et al, domestic and overseas published documents about Oxaliplatin combined with Capecitabine in treatment of EC collected by us from building date library to May 2018 and RevMan 5.3 was applied to data analysis. The patients were who got EC or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer. Using Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine is experiment group without other medicines, other medicine or Capecitabine are contral group. The clinical efficacy index are disease control rate (DCR), overall response rate (ORR) and survival rate. The safety index are occurrence of leukocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea and vomiting. The OR and the 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to estimate outcome index from each group.
Results Eleven literatures were analyzed in the meta-analysis and showed lower bias risk. ①DCR, ORR and survival rate in treatment of EC by Oxaliplatin combined with Capecitabine showed better than the control group(ORR: OR=2.31,95%CI 1.75~3.05,
P<0.000 01; DCR: OR=1.61,95%CI 1.16~2.23,
P=0.004; Survival rate: OR=2.64,95%CI 1.86~3.75,
P<0.000 01). ②The leukocytopenia in treatment of EC by Oxaliplatin combined with Capecitabine is higher than the control group(OR=1.55,95%CI 1.13~2.13,
P<0.006). The thrombocytopenia in treatment of EC by Oxaliplatin combined with Capecitabine showed no significant statistical differences. Occurrence of nausea and vomiting in treatment of EC by Oxaliplatin combined with Capecitabine showed clearly higher than the control group with other medicine or Capecitabine(OR=2.07,95%CI 1.47~2.90,
P<0.000 1).
Conclusions DCR, ORR and survival rate in treatment of EC by Oxaliplatin combined with Capecitabine showed better than the control group with other medicine or Capecitabine. This programme could be consided as the priority in order to improve clinical efficacy.
