To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a modified version of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (pirarubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone [THP-COP]) plus radiotherapy for early-stage aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the head and neck.
Between December 1993 and December 1999, 41 patients with early-stage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with intermediate-grade histologic features were enrolled in our study. The mean patient age was 51 years. Of the 41 patients, 27 had Stage I and 14 Stage II disease. The primary site was Waldeyer's ring, a neck node, or an extranodal site in 14, 11, and 16 patients, respectively. The immunophenotype was B cell in 29 and T cell in 12 patients. All patients were in the low-risk category according to the International Prognostic Index. Chemotherapy consisted of 40 mg/m(2) i.v. pirarubicin (THP-Adriamycin), 750 mg/m(2) i.v. cyclophosphamide, and 1.0 mg/m(2) i.v. vincristine, on Day 1 and 40 mg/m(2) p.o. prednisone on Days 1-5. The combination chemotherapy was given twice at a 14-day interval. Radiotherapy was given to involved areas at a fraction size of 2.0-2.5 Gy up to a total of 40 Gy within 4-5 weeks. The mean follow-up period was 63 months.
The 5-year overall survival rate was 89%. The 5-year cause-specific survival and progression-free survival rate was 90% and 81%, respectively. The 5-year progression-free survival rate for patients with Waldeyer's ring primaries was 93%. Patients with tumor <5 cm in size had greater 5-year progression-free survival than those with tumor >5 cm in size (85% vs. 33%, p <0.05, log-rank test). Grade 4 neutropenia was seen in 12% of patients; however, 93% of patients (38 of 41) received chemotherapy as scheduled with the support of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
Biweekly THP-COP plus radiotherapy is feasible and effective for Stage I-II low-risk non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
评估改良版环磷酰胺、阿霉素、长春新碱、泼尼松(吡柔比星、环磷酰胺、长春新碱和泼尼松[THP-COP])联合放疗治疗早期侵袭性头颈部非霍奇金淋巴瘤的安全性和有效性。
1993年12月至1999年12月期间,41例具有中级组织学特征的早期非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者纳入本研究。患者平均年龄为51岁。41例患者中,27例为I期,14例为II期。原发部位分别为瓦尔代尔环、颈部淋巴结或结外部位的患者有14例、11例和16例。免疫表型为B细胞的患者有29例,T细胞的患者有12例。根据国际预后指数,所有患者均属于低风险类别。化疗方案为第1天静脉注射40mg/m²吡柔比星(THP-阿霉素)、750mg/m²环磷酰胺和1.0mg/m²长春新碱,第1 - 5天口服40mg/m²泼尼松。联合化疗每14天进行一次,共进行两次。对受累区域进行放疗,每次分割剂量为2.0 - 2.5Gy,在4 - 5周内总剂量达40Gy。平均随访期为63个月。
5年总生存率为89%。5年病因特异性生存率和无进展生存率分别为90%和81%。瓦尔代尔环原发性肿瘤患者的5年无进展生存率为93%。肿瘤大小<5cm的患者5年无进展生存率高于肿瘤大小>5cm的患者(85%对33%,p<0.05,对数秩检验)。12%的患者出现4级中性粒细胞减少;然而,93%的患者(41例中的38例)在粒细胞集落刺激因子的支持下按计划接受了化疗。
每两周一次的THP-COP联合放疗对I-II期低风险非霍奇金淋巴瘤是可行且有效的。
