This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of cytokine-induced killer (CIK)/dendritic cell combined with CIK (DC-CIK) cell therapy in advanced gastrointestinal cancer (GIC).
The PubMed, Cochrane library, and Embase were searched to conduct a meta-analysis of clinical controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CIK/DC-CIK cell therapy in advanced GIC. The pooled risk ratios (RRs) or weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated.
A total of nine studies with 1113 patients were identified. The overall survival (RR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.41-2.40, P = 0.654, I = 0%), progression-free survival (RR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.52-2.60, P = 0.727, I = 0%), and quality of life (WMD = 16.09, 95% CI = 1.66-30.52, P < 0.001, I = 98.8%) were significantly improved in patients who received chemotherapy combined with CIK/DC-CIK cells, and no severe adverse events were reported.
This meta-analysis suggested that the combination of CIK/DC-CIK immunotherapy and chemotherapy was safe and applicable for patients with advanced GIC. It is a feasible choice to prolong survival and improve quality of life.
本研究旨在探讨细胞因子诱导的杀伤(CIK)/树突状细胞联合 CIK(DC-CIK)细胞治疗在晚期胃肠道癌(GIC)中的疗效和安全性。
检索 PubMed、Cochrane 图书馆和 Embase,对临床对照试验进行荟萃分析,评估 CIK/DC-CIK 细胞治疗在晚期 GIC 中的疗效和安全性。计算合并的风险比(RR)或加权均数差(WMD)及其 95%置信区间(95%CI)。
共纳入 9 项研究,共计 1113 例患者。化疗联合 CIK/DC-CIK 细胞治疗的患者总生存期(RR=1.84,95%CI=1.41-2.40,P=0.654,I²=0%)、无进展生存期(RR=1.99,95%CI=1.52-2.60,P=0.727,I²=0%)和生活质量(WMD=16.09,95%CI=1.66-30.52,P<0.001,I²=98.8%)显著改善,且未报告严重不良事件。
本荟萃分析表明,CIK/DC-CIK 免疫治疗联合化疗对晚期 GIC 患者安全且适用,是延长生存期、提高生活质量的可行选择。
