To compare the outcome of our facility with another about the shortened schedule (60 Gy in 10 fractions to 54 Gy in 9 fractions) of high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR ISBT) for mobile tongue cancer.
Eighteen patients were treated with HDR ISBT as a monotherapy in dose reduction schedule with some unique technique to determine the border of tumor accuracy (lugol's staining and metal marker), and to minimize adverse effect (lead-lined silicon block) at our facility.
The 2-year local and regional control rates and cause-specific survival rate were 82%, 80%, and 83% and moderate to severe late complications occurred in five patients (28%), which were almost the same treatment results achieved by another facility.
We recommend 54 Gy in 9 fractions over 7 days as a feasible treatment to reduce patient discomfort in mobile tongue cancer patients.
比较我院与另一机构关于高剂量率组织间近距离放疗(HDR ISBT)缩短疗程(从10次分割给予60 Gy减至9次分割给予54 Gy)治疗活动期舌癌的疗效。
18例患者在我院接受HDR ISBT单药治疗,采用剂量缩减方案,并运用一些独特技术来确定肿瘤边界的准确性(卢戈氏染色和金属标记),以及将不良反应降至最低(铅衬硅块)。
2年局部和区域控制率以及特定病因生存率分别为82%、80%和83%,5例患者(28%)出现中度至重度晚期并发症,这与另一机构所取得的治疗结果几乎相同。
我们推荐7天内9次分割给予54 Gy作为一种可行的治疗方案,以减轻活动期舌癌患者的不适。
