OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of gemcitabine combined with erlotinib on T cell subsets and cytokines in patients with lung cancer.METHODS:A total of 110 patients with lung cancer admitted into Shanghai Changhai Hospital from Jan.2017 to Jan.2018 were extracted to be divided into the observation group and the control group via the random number table
with 55 cases in each group.The control group was treated with gemcitabine combined with carboplatin
and the observation group was given erlotinib treatment on the basis of the control group.The short-term efficacy
T cell subsets [T lymphocytes(CD3
+
)
Th cells(CD4
+
)
Ts cells(CD8
+
)
and CD4
+
/CD8
+
]
cytokine [interleukin 2(IL-2)
interleukin 6(IL-6)
interleukin 10(IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)]
levels] and adverse drug reactions of two groups were observed.RESULTS:The total effective rate in the observation group was 96.36%(53/55)
significantly higher than that in the control group(80.00%
44/55)
with statistically significant difference(P
<
0.05).After treatment
the levels of CD3
+
CD4
+
and CD4
+
/CD8
+
in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group
and the levels of CD8
+
were significantly lower than those in the control group
with statistically significant differences(P
<
0.05).After treatment
the levels of IL-2 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group
and the levels of IL-6
IL-10 and TNF-α were significantly lower than those in the control group
the differences were statistically significant(P
<
0.05).The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the observation group was 9.09%(5/55)
significantly lower than the control group 38.13%(21/55)
and the difference was statistically significant(P
<
0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Gemcitabine combined with erotinib has significant effects in the treatment of lung cancer
which can effectively improve the T cell subsets and cytokine levels in patients with higher safety
and has positive effects on improving the prognosis of patients.
