To conduct a retrospective analysis of disease free survival (DFS) of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) in relation to evolution of treatment and related factors.
A total of 3,892 cases of LACC treated at the Cancer Institute (WIA), Chennai, India, during 1990-1999 were analyzed. Management of LACC including concurrent chemo-radiation (CCRT) has evolved through trials conducted at the institute. DFS and risk of second cancer were elicited using actuarial and Kaplan-Meier methods, respectively.
A majority belonged to stage III (54%) and complete follow-up at 5-years was 90%. DFS at 5, 10 and 15-years were 58%, 49% and 42% for stage IIB and 43%, 35% and 31% for stage III, respectively. External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) alone as treatment modality reported the poorest 5-year DFS (37%). Addition of chemotherapy to EBRT resulted in marginal increase in survival (41%) but inclusion of brachytherapy to EBRT enhanced survival (58%) significantly (p<0.001). CCRT with brachytherapy as a planned component resulted in the best DFS (69%), irrespective of disease stage. In a carefully selected group of patients who were suitable for salvage surgery, the long-term DFS was 71%, 63% and 63% at 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively, for stages IIB and III together. Complete response was achieved in 67% and 15% of them recurred. Remote metastasis occurred in 13%. The cumulative risk of developing any second cancer was 0.5% at 5 years, 1.9% at 10 years and 2.8% at 15 years of follow up.
Our data indicates satisfactory treatment outcome even in advanced disease and with the present state of knowledge, the recommended standard treatment for LACC is careful pre-treatment evaluation followed by CCRT which includes brachytherapy.
对局部晚期宫颈癌(LACC)的无病生存期(DFS)与治疗进展及相关因素进行回顾性分析。
分析了1990 - 1999年期间在印度钦奈癌症研究所(WIA)接受治疗的3892例LACC病例。该研究所通过开展试验,使LACC的治疗管理包括同步放化疗(CCRT)得到了发展。分别采用精算方法和Kaplan - Meier方法得出DFS和二次癌症风险。
大多数患者属于III期(54%),5年的完整随访率为90%。IIB期患者5年、10年和15年的DFS分别为58%、49%和42%,III期患者分别为43%、35%和31%。单纯外照射放疗(EBRT)作为治疗方式的5年DFS最差(37%)。在EBRT基础上加用化疗使生存率略有提高(41%),但在EBRT基础上加入近距离放疗显著提高了生存率(58%)(p<0.001)。以近距离放疗为计划组成部分的CCRT产生了最佳的DFS(69%),与疾病分期无关。在一组经过精心挑选、适合挽救性手术的患者中,IIB期和III期患者联合起来在5年、10年和15年的长期DFS分别为71%、63%和63%。其中67%的患者实现了完全缓解,15%出现复发。13%发生远处转移。随访5年、10年和15年时发生任何二次癌症的累积风险分别为0.5%、1.9%和2.8%。
我们的数据表明,即使是晚期疾病,治疗结果也令人满意,就目前的知识水平而言,LACC推荐的标准治疗是进行仔细的治疗前评估,然后进行包括近距离放疗的CCRT。
