To compare outcomes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the vulva treated with radiation (RT) and concurrent weekly platinum-based or every-3-4-week regimens containing 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
Records of 44 patients with vulvar SCC treated with concurrent chemotherapy and radiation (chemoRT) from 1988 to 2008 were reviewed. Rates of disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), locoregional recurrence (LRR), and distant metastases (DM) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
The median age was 63 years (range, 44-90), 84.1% of patients had ECOG performance status 0-1, and patients had FIGO Stage II (n=6), III (n=31), or IVA (n=7) disease. Patients were treated preoperatively (n=10), postoperatively (n=10), or without surgery (n=24). The median RT dose to the vulva was 50.2 Gray (range, 22-75). Concurrent chemotherapy regimens included weekly platinum (n=16) or every 3-4 week regimens with 5-FU as the backbone (n=28). With a median follow-up of 31.5 months, there was no significant difference in 2-year OS (74.5% vs. 70.0%; p=0.65), DFS (61.9% vs. 56.0%; p=0.85), LRR (31.3% vs. 32.9%; p=0.93), or DM (6.3% vs. 10.6%; p=0.81) between the weekly platinum and every-3-4-week 5-FU regimens. Twenty patients (45.4%) recurred: 16 LRR, 2 DM, and 2 with both. The clinical and pathologic complete response rates were 58.8% (20/34), and 53.8% (14/26), respectively. There was a higher proportion of grade 3 or higher acute non-skin toxicities in patients receiving every-3-4-week 5-FU (46.1% vs. 13.3%; p=0.07), but more grade 3 or higher skin toxicity in patients receiving weekly platinum (62.5% vs. 32.0%; p=0.01).
OS, response rates, and recurrence rates were not significantly different after RT with concurrent weekly platinum-based versus every-3-4-week regimens containing 5-FU for vulvar SCC.
比较接受放疗(RT)联合每周铂类或每 3-4 周含 5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)方案治疗外阴鳞癌(SCC)患者的结局。
回顾了 1988 年至 2008 年期间接受同步化疗和放疗(chemoRT)治疗的 44 例外阴 SCC 患者的记录。采用 Kaplan-Meier 法估计无病生存率(DFS)、总生存率(OS)、局部区域复发率(LRR)和远处转移率(DM)。
中位年龄为 63 岁(范围 44-90),84.1%的患者 ECOG 体能状态 0-1,FIGO 分期为 II 期(n=6)、III 期(n=31)或 IVA 期(n=7)。患者接受术前治疗(n=10)、术后治疗(n=10)或无手术治疗(n=24)。外阴放疗剂量中位数为 50.2Gy(范围 22-75)。同期化疗方案包括每周铂类(n=16)或每 3-4 周含 5-FU 方案(n=28)。中位随访 31.5 个月后,每周铂类组与每 3-4 周 5-FU 组的 2 年 OS(74.5% vs. 70.0%;p=0.65)、DFS(61.9% vs. 56.0%;p=0.85)、LRR(31.3% vs. 32.9%;p=0.93)和 DM(6.3% vs. 10.6%;p=0.81)无显著差异。20 例(45.4%)患者复发:16 例 LRR、2 例 DM 和 2 例同时发生。临床和病理完全缓解率分别为 58.8%(20/34)和 53.8%(14/26)。接受每 3-4 周 5-FU 方案的患者急性非皮肤毒性 3 级或以上比例较高(46.1% vs. 13.3%;p=0.07),而接受每周铂类方案的患者皮肤毒性 3 级或以上比例较高(62.5% vs. 32.0%;p=0.01)。
外阴 SCC 患者接受 RT 联合每周铂类或每 3-4 周含 5-FU 方案治疗后,OS、缓解率和复发率无显著差异。
