In locally advanced head and neck cancer, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with combined 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin has increased acute toxicities as well as survival. Once-weekly chemotherapeutic administration schedule may reduce severe toxicities. Thus, we investigated CRT using weekly administration of 5-FU-cisplatin in locally advanced head and neck cancer.
In a single-arm, phase II study, CRT included radiation (70.0 Gy/35 fr) and weekly 5-FU (750 mg/m2) and cisplatin (20 mg/m2).
Thirty-two patients completed planned radiation. Thirteen (41%) achieved complete response, and 16 (50%) partial response. Twelve patients (38%) experienced acute grade 3 toxicities. Grade 3 mucositis, which was the most common toxicity, developed in 5 (16%) patients. The survival rates at 1 and 2 years were 81% and 76%, respectively. The progression-free survival rates at 1 and 2 years were 69% and 66%, respectively.
We demonstrated weekly 5-FU-cisplatin with conventional radiotherapy was efficacious and feasible with high compliance rate in locally advanced head and neck cancer.
在局部晚期头颈部癌症中,联合应用氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)和顺铂的同期放化疗(CRT)增加了急性毒性和生存率。每周一次的化疗给药方案可能会降低严重毒性。因此,我们研究了每周给予氟尿嘧啶-顺铂的 CRT 在局部晚期头颈部癌症中的应用。
在一项单臂、Ⅱ期研究中,CRT 包括放疗(70.0 Gy/35 次)和每周氟尿嘧啶(750 mg/m2)和顺铂(20 mg/m2)。
32 例患者完成了计划的放疗。13 例(41%)达到完全缓解,16 例(50%)部分缓解。12 例(38%)患者出现急性 3 级毒性。最常见的毒性是 3 级黏膜炎,发生在 5 例(16%)患者中。1 年和 2 年的生存率分别为 81%和 76%。1 年和 2 年的无进展生存率分别为 69%和 66%。
我们证明了在局部晚期头颈部癌症中,每周给予氟尿嘧啶-顺铂联合常规放疗是有效且可行的,且具有较高的依从性。
