To evaluate the outcomes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with helical tomotherapy (HT).
Between September 2007 and August 2012, 190 newly diagnosed NPC patients were treated with HT. Thirty-one patients were treated with radiation therapy as single modality, 129 with additional cisplatin-based chemotherapy with or without anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy, and 30 with concurrent anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy.
Acute radiation related side effects were mainly grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 and greater toxicities were rarely noted. The median followup was 32 (3-38) months. The local relapse-free survival (LRFS), nodal relapse-free survival (NRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS) were 96.1%, 98.2%, 92.0%, and 86.3%, respectively, at 3 years. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that age and T stage were independent predictors for 3-year OS.
Helical tomotherapy for NPC patients achieved excellent 3-year locoregional control, distant metastasis-free survival, and overall survival, with relatively minor acute and late toxicities. Age and T stage were the main prognosis factors.
评估接受螺旋断层放射治疗(HT)的鼻咽癌(NPC)患者的治疗结果。
2007年9月至2012年8月期间,190例新诊断的NPC患者接受了HT治疗。31例患者仅接受放射治疗,129例接受了以顺铂为基础的化疗,联合或不联合抗表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)单克隆抗体治疗,30例接受了同步抗EGFR单克隆抗体治疗。
急性放射相关副作用主要为1级或2级。很少观察到3级及以上毒性反应。中位随访时间为32(3 - 38)个月。3年时局部无复发生存率(LRFS)、区域淋巴结无复发生存率(NRFS)、远处转移无复发生存率(DMFS)和总生存率(OS)分别为96.1%、98.2%、92.0%和86.3%。Cox多因素回归分析显示,年龄和T分期是3年总生存率的独立预测因素。
NPC患者接受螺旋断层放射治疗可获得出色的3年局部区域控制率、远处转移无复发生存率和总生存率,且急、慢性毒性相对较小。年龄和T分期是主要的预后因素。
