Abstract: Objective The Objective of this study was to explore the clinical effects of chemotherapy combined with surgery in patients with drug-resistant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia(GTN).Methods A total of 76 drug-resistant patients with high-risk GTN were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observed group,each with 38 patients.Patients in the control group were treated with etoposide,methotrexate,and actinomycin-D/etoposide and cisplatin(EMA/EP),and patients in the observed group were treated with EMA/EP regimen combined with surgery.The treatment effect,prognosis,peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and adverse reactions were compared between the control and observed groups.Results After 6 months of treatment,the ORR(Objective response rate)of the observed group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.024).The drug resistance rate and recurrence rate in the observed group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in serum HCG between the control and observed groups before treatment.The serum HCG levels in two groups decreased after treatment(P<0.001).The serum HCG levels in the observed group at 6 months,12 months,and the last follow-up after treatment were lower than those in the control group(P<0.001).There was no significant difference in the levels of T lymphocyte subsets between the two groups before treatment,and there were different degrees of improvement after 6 months of treatment.The CD3+,CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+T cells in the observed group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of neutropenia,hemoglobin reduction,nausea and vomiting,and hair loss in the observed group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion For patients with high-risk GTN in first-line drug-resistance,chemotherapy combined with surgery has a better therapeutic effect,and can effectively improve the body′s immune level and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.
