Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of lineal polypeptide injection combined with chemotherapy on the clinical efficacy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Methods Eighty patients with triple-negative breast cancer at Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2014 to December 2017 were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into control group with 40 cases and experimental group with 40 cases. In comparison with the control group treated with conventional postoperative chemotherapy, the experimental group was given the additional lienal polypeptide injection on the basis of the control group. The immunological function and clinical efficacy were compared. Results After treatment, the Karnofsky functional status score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(F=5.793,P=0.018), and the proportion of CD4+ (t=5.337, P<0.001), CD8+(t=9.874,P<0.001), natural killer cell (NK) (t=-7.460,P<0.001) and Treg cells(t=7.113, P<0.001) were all increased to different degrees. The progress-free survival period (PFS) of the experimental group was longer than that of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).However, there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of upper limb lymphedema (P>0.05). Conclusion Lineal polypeptide injection can effectively improve the immune function and enhance the general life of triple-negative breast cancer patients.
