RESUMEN
Objective To study the treatment influences on immunity and tumor recurrence of oral canc -er patients with the combination therapy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy . Methods In the period from March 2011 to March 2014 ,84 patients were clearly diagnosed with oral cancer and randomly divided into hyperbaric oxygen treatment combined postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy group ( group A,n=42)and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy group (group B,n=42).From day 1 prior to the last day of chemotherapy ,patients in group A were treated with hyperbaric oxygen ,and patients in group B were just accepted chemotherapy.After chemotherapy,we tested the levels of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +and NK cells by flow cytometry, and the expression of IL -2,IL-4,IL-10 and INF-γby ELISA essay.All patients had been followed for two years.Results The levels of CD4 +and NK cells in group A were higher than group B (P0.05).Compared with group B,the ratio of CD4 +and CD8 +was increased in group A(P<0.05).The levels of cytokines involved IL -2,IL-4,IL-10 and INF-γin group A were higher than the levels of group B ( P<0 .05 ) .Follow-up results showed that pa-tients treated with hyperbaric oxygen combined postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy had less recurrence in 2 years(P<0.05).Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen combined postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy can improve the patients′immune function ,and to be effective in preventing two years′recurrence .
