Abstract:
Objective To compare the therapeutic effect,survival and safety of temozolomide(TMZ) and lomustine(CCNU) on glioma. Methods A total of 64 postoperative patients with glioma were randomly divided into two groups:TMZ treatment and CCNU treatment group.All patients were performed conventional radiotherapy, 2Gy/d,5d/W,4~6 weeks as a treatment course,for a total of 50~60Gy. After radiotherapy,TMZ group were treated with TMZ (0.015~0.02)mg/(cm2·d) by orally for 5 days during 28-day cycle.CCNU group were treated with CCNU(0.005~0.006)mg/(cm2·d) by orally for 5 days during 28-day cycle. Results The effect in TMZ group were superior to CCNU group(U=1.9675,P=0.0245);the average survival time of patients in TMZ group were longer than that of in CCNU group(t=7.7611,P=0.000);the happening rate of nausea,vomitting and tired in TMZ group was lower than that in CCNU group(χ2=4.0635,P=0.0437);The myelotoxicity in TMZ group were slighter than that in CCNU group(U=3.2314,P=0.0006). Conclusion TMZ can improve the patients with gliomas in the symptoms and survival quality better,and produce higher response rate compared to CCNU in patients with gliomas.
