Xerostomia is a serious morbidity of radiation treatment in head and neck cancer.
We conducted a prospective phase III multicenter randomized study comparing submandibular salivary gland transfer (SGT) procedure with pilocarpine during and for 3 months after XRT. Salivary flow (baseline, stimulated) and University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (U of W QOL) scores were measured. RESULTS.: An interim intent to treat analysis (120 patients) at 6 months shows superior results in SGT arm: median baseline salivary flow for SGT (0.04 mL/minute) versus pilocarpine (0.01 mL/minute), p = .001; median stimulated salivary flow (0.18 mL/minute) for SGT versus (0.05 mL/minute) for pilocarpine, p = .003. Scores (U of W QOL) for amount (p = .017) and consistency of saliva (p = .005) in favor of SGT leading to premature closure of study.
Submandibular SGT procedure is superior to pilocarpine in management of radiation-induced xerostomia.
口干症是头颈部癌放射治疗的一种严重并发症。
我们进行了一项前瞻性III期多中心随机研究，比较了下颌下唾液腺转移（SGT）手术与毛果芸香碱在放疗期间及放疗后3个月的效果。测量了唾液流量（基线、刺激后）和华盛顿大学生活质量问卷（UW QOL）评分。结果：6个月时的一项中期意向性治疗分析（120例患者）显示，SGT组的结果更优：SGT组的基线唾液流量中位数（0.04毫升/分钟）与毛果芸香碱组（0.01毫升/分钟）相比，p = 0.001；SGT组的刺激后唾液流量中位数（0.18毫升/分钟）与毛果芸香碱组（0.05毫升/分钟）相比，p = 0.003。唾液量（p = 0.017）和唾液黏稠度（p = 0.005）的评分（UW QOL）支持SGT组，导致研究提前结束。结论：下颌下SGT手术在治疗放射性口干症方面优于毛果芸香碱。
