The aim of this study were to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of chemotherapy using fluorouracil, adriamycin, and cisplatin (FAP) in patients with clinical stage II/III squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SCCE).
Forty patients were enrolled in the study. They received 30 mg/m(2) adriamycin and 70 mg/m(2) cisplatin on day 1, and 700 mg/m(2) 5-fluorouracil on days 1-5 every four weeks. Following two courses of chemotherapy, eligible patients underwent esophagectomy.
Twenty-one patients (53%) achieved partial response, and 27 patients underwent surgical resection (resection rate: 68%). Grade 3/4 toxicities developed: 7 patients (18%) with leukopenia, 23 (58%) with neutropenia. The three and five-year survival rates were 55% and 48%. Patients with surgical resection had better prognosis than those without resection, with a three-year survival rate of 68% vs. 25%.
FAP is effective and feasible and surgery may provide additional benefit for SCCE patients with FAP.
本研究旨在评估氟尿嘧啶、阿霉素和顺铂(FAP)化疗方案对临床II/III期食管鳞状细胞癌(SCCE)患者的可行性和疗效。
40例患者纳入本研究。他们在第1天接受30mg/m²阿霉素和70mg/m²顺铂治疗,并在第1 - 5天接受700mg/m² 5-氟尿嘧啶治疗,每四周重复一次。两个化疗疗程后,符合条件的患者接受食管切除术。
21例患者(53%)获得部分缓解,27例患者接受了手术切除(切除率:68%)。出现3/4级毒性反应:7例患者(18%)出现白细胞减少,23例(58%)出现中性粒细胞减少。三年和五年生存率分别为55%和48%。接受手术切除的患者预后优于未切除的患者,三年生存率分别为68%和25%。
FAP化疗方案有效且可行,手术可能为接受FAP化疗的SCCE患者带来额外益处。
