Comparison of Clinical Effects of Temozolomide Single Agent and Combined Doxorubicin in the Treatment of Glioma

In this article, we have compared and analyzed the clinical effects of temozolomide single agent and combined doxorubicin in the treatment of glioma. To evaluate this, a total of 70 patients diagnosed with glioma in our hospital from July 2019 to July 2020 were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group and the control group, with 35 patients in each group. The control group received temozolomide capsules orally. The observation group was treated with temozolomide single agent and doxorubicin. After treatment, the clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, and KPS score of the two groups were observed. After treatment, the total response rate of the control group was 31.43%, and the total response rate of the observation group was 62.86%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in KPS scores between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ). After treatment, the KPS scores of both groups were improved, and the KPS scores of the observation group and the control group were significantly better, with statistical significance ( P < 0.05 ). In the observation group, 17 cases had adverse reactions, including 10 cases of nausea and vomiting, 2 cases of leucopenia, and 5 cases of thrombocytopenia, with a total incidence of 48.57%. In the control group, there were 31 cases of adverse reactions, including 22 cases of nausea and vomiting, 6 cases of leucopenia, and 4 cases of thrombocytopenia, with a total incidence of 91.43%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The efficacy of temozolomide single agent and combined doxorubicin in the treatment of glioma was significant. Moreover, it can significantly improve clinical efficacy, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, and improve the health status of patients, which is worthy of further clinical application.
