The use of involved field radiotherapy (IFRT) has generated concern about the increasing incidence of elective nodal failure (ENF) in contrast to elective nodal irradiation (ENI). This meta-analysis aimed to provide more reliable and up-to-date evidence on the incidence of ENF between IFRT and ENI.
We searched three databases for eligible studies where locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients received IFRT or ENI. Outcome of interest was the incidence of ENF. The fixed-effects model was used to pool outcomes across the studies.
There were 3 RCTs and 3 cohort studies included with low risk of bias. There was no significant difference in incidence of ENF between IFRT and ENI either among RCTs (RR = 1.38, 95 % CI: 0.59-3.25, p = 0.46) or among cohort studies (RR = 0.99, 95 % CI: 0.46-2.10, p = 0.97). There was also no significant difference in incidence of ENF between IFRT and ENI when RCTs and cohort studies were combined (RR = 1.15, 95 % CI: 0.65-2.01, p = 0.64). I of test for heterogeneity was 0 %.
This meta-analysis provides more reliable and stable evidence that there is no significant difference in incidence of ENF between IFRT and ENI.
与选择性淋巴结照射(ENI)相比,累及野放射治疗(IFRT)的应用引发了人们对选择性淋巴结失败(ENF)发生率上升的担忧。本荟萃分析旨在提供关于IFRT和ENI之间ENF发生率的更可靠和最新的证据。
我们在三个数据库中搜索了符合条件的研究,这些研究中的局部晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者接受了IFRT或ENI。感兴趣的结果是ENF的发生率。采用固定效应模型汇总各项研究的结果。
纳入了3项随机对照试验(RCT)和3项队列研究,偏倚风险较低。在RCT中(风险比[RR]=1.38,95%置信区间[CI]:0.59 - 3.25,p = 0.46)或队列研究中(RR = 0.99,95% CI:0.46 - 2.10,p = 0.97),IFRT和ENI之间的ENF发生率均无显著差异。当将RCT和队列研究合并时,IFRT和ENI之间的ENF发生率也无显著差异(RR = 1.15,95% CI:0.65 - 2.01,p = 0.64)。异质性检验的I²为0%。
本荟萃分析提供了更可靠和稳定的证据,表明IFRT和ENI之间的ENF发生率无显著差异。
