Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of Apatinib combined with Tizio in patients with advanced gastric cancer and the effects of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelial cell specific molecule-1 (ESM-1). Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with advanced gastric cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into control group (25 cases) and study group (25 cases) according to different chemotherapy regimen. The control group was treated with Tiggio, and the study group was treated with Apatinib combined with Tiggio for two courses. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was observed, and the levels of serum tumor markers [regenerative gene protein Ⅳ (REGⅣ), response factor (SRF) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)], VEGF and ESM-1 in the two groups were compared before and after treatment, and safety assessment was carried out. Results The Objective remission rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum REG, SRF and MMP-2 levels in two groups were decreased compared with before treatment, and the research group was lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum VEGF and ESM-1 levels in two groups were decreased compared with before treatment, and the levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of bone marrow transplantation, nausea and vomiting, alopecia, diarrhea and abnormal liver and kidney function between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Combined treatment with Apatinib and Tizio has a definite effect in patients with advanced gastric cancer, which can better down-regulate the expression of serum tumor markers, regulate the levels of serum VEGF and ESM-1, and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions. It is safe and worthy of promotion.
