Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of endocrine therapy combined with trastuzumab targeted therapy on HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) positive metastatic breast cancer on the treatment efficiency and quality of life. Methods: Selected 100 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who were treated in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021, and divided them into a control group and an observation group according to the random number table method, with 50 cases in each group, and were given the clinical effects of single trastuzumab targeted therapy and endocrine therapy combined with trastuzumab targeted therapy were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05); the remission rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); the overall health scale and function scale scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the individual items Measurement and symptom scale scores were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Endocrine therapy combined with trastuzumab targeted therapy for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer can effectively relieve the patient's condition and improve the patient's quality of life. The clinical effect is significant, and it is worthy of widespread application.
