[Clinical Effects of Different Chemotherapeutic Regimens on the Patients with Multiple Myeloma]
1Department of Hematology & Oncology, Nanyang Municipal Second People's Hospital, Nanyang 473000, Henan Province, China.
Objective:
To explore the clinical effects of T-VD regimen (bortezomib+dexamethasone+thalidomid) and T-VAD regimen (vincristine+adriamycin+dexamethasone+thalidomide) on the patients with multiple myeloma(MM).
Methods:
Thirty cases of MM treated by T-VD(T-VD group) and 30 cases of MM treated by T-VAD(T-VAD group) from April 2010 to April 2012 were included in this study. The clinical effects and long-term survival were compared betwwen these 2 groups.
Results:
Both the CR and ORR in T-VD group were higher than those in T-VAD group(P<0.05); the ORR of the non-light and light chain type in T-VD group was higher than that in the T-VAD group(P<0.05); the ORR was not different between the no-light chain type and light chain type in T-VD group(P>0.05); the ORR was not different between the non-light and light chain type of T-VAD group(P>0.05); the ORR was not different between the stage I-II of T-VD group and T-VAD group(P>0.05); the ORR for the stages of III T-VD group was higher than that of T-VAD group(P<0.05); the ORR was not different between the I-II and III stages in the T-VD group(P>0.05); The ORR for the I-II stages of control group were higher than that of the III stages(P<0.05); the levels of serum M protein, myeloma cells, β2-MG in the T-VD group were lower than those in T-VAD group(P<0.05). The rate of leukocyteopenia, nausea and vomit, weakness in T-VD group were significantly higher than those in T-VAD group(P<0.05); The incidences of infection and peripheral neuropathy in T-VD group were higher than those in T-VAD group(P<0.05).
Conclusion:
The effect of T-VD regimen on the patients with MM is better than that of T-VAD regimen and its effect is not influenced by the clinical classification and stages, but will aggravate some side effects, thus this chemotherapeutic regimen need to be carefully chosen.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
