To evaluate survival, locoregional control and toxicity in a series of 56 mesothelioma patients treated from May 2005 to May 2010 with post-operative radiotherapy after extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) in three Italian Institutions (Brescia, Florence, and Modena).
Fifty-six patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) after EPP were analyzed. Four patients were treated with 3DCRT, 50 with IMRT and two with helical tomotherapy. Forty-five to 50 Gy in 25 fractions were given to the affected hemithorax and to ipsilateral mediastinum, with a simultaneous integrated boost to the sites of microscopically involved margins up to 60 Gy in 20/56 cases.
Three year locoregional control (LRC), distant metastasis free (DMF), disease free (DF), disease specific (DSS) and overall survival (OS) rates are 90%, 66%, 57%, 62%, and 60%, respectively.
Postoperative RT with modern techniques is an effective method to obtain excellent local control and cure rates in mesothelioma patients submitted to EPP.
评估在意大利三个机构(布雷西亚、佛罗伦萨和摩德纳)进行的 56 例间皮瘤患者中,术后放疗在胸腔外全肺切除术后(EPP)的疗效,包括生存率、局部区域控制率和毒性。
对 56 例接受 EPP 辅助放疗(RT)的患者进行了分析。4 例患者接受 3DCRT 治疗,50 例患者接受 IMRT 治疗,2 例患者接受螺旋断层放疗。45-50Gy/25 次,用于受累半胸和同侧纵隔,同时对显微镜下受累边缘进行同步整合增敏,20/56 例达到 60Gy。
3 年局部区域控制(LRC)、远处无转移(DMF)、无病(DF)、疾病特异性(DSS)和总生存率(OS)分别为 90%、66%、57%、62%和 60%。
EPP 术后采用现代技术进行放疗是一种有效的方法,可以获得间皮瘤患者优异的局部控制和治愈率。
