To compare survival outcomes for charged particle radiotherapy (CP) and stereotactic body radiotherapy using CyberKnife (CK) in patients who had undergone re-irradiation for head and neck cancers.
We conducted a retrospective multi-institutional matched-cohort analysis on 25 patients treated with CP and 25 matched patients treated with CK according to three prognostic factors (nasopharyngeal cancer or not, interval between initial radiotherapy and re-irradiation, and planning target volume).
CP was used more often to treat non-squamous cell cancer ((non-SCC): 52% vs. 0%) with a higher prescribed dose (median=57.6 Gy(RBE)/16 fractions) than CK (32 Gy/5 fractions). The local control rate (LC) for patients treated with CP was 71.2% at 1 year and that for patients treated with CK was 63.8% (p=0.24). The 1-year overall survival (OS) rates were 67.1% for CP and 36.3% for CK (p=0.0002), respectively. Non-SCC patients showed better OS rates at 1 year than SCC patients. In the SCC sub-group analysis, the 1-year LC, OS rates were 65%, 58.3% in the CP group and 64%, 36.3% in the CK group (p=0.81, p=0.02), respectively. A total of 16 patients (32%) experienced grade 3 or worse toxicities (24% in CK and 40% in CP, p=0.36), including six grade 5 toxicities.
CP produced higher survival rates than CK, treated more non-SCC patients and used a higher prescribed dose. On the other hand, severe toxicities occurred in both groups, which, however, require further investigation.
比较对头颈部癌进行再照射的患者接受带电粒子放疗(CP)和使用射波刀(CK)进行立体定向体部放疗后的生存结果。
我们根据三个预后因素(是否为鼻咽癌、初始放疗与再照射之间的间隔以及计划靶体积),对25例接受CP治疗的患者和25例匹配的接受CK治疗的患者进行了一项回顾性多机构匹配队列分析。
CP更常用于治疗非鳞状细胞癌(非SCC:52%对0%),其处方剂量(中位数=57.6 Gy(相对生物效应)/16次分割)高于CK(32 Gy/5次分割)。接受CP治疗的患者1年局部控制率(LC)为71.2%,接受CK治疗的患者为63.8%(p=0.24)。CP和CK的1年总生存率(OS)分别为67.1%和36.3%(p=0.0002)。非SCC患者1年的OS率高于SCC患者。在SCC亚组分析中,CP组的1年LC、OS率分别为65%、58.3%,CK组为64%、36.3%(p=0.81,p=0.02)。共有16例患者(32%)出现3级或更严重的毒性反应(CK组为24%,CP组为40%,p=0.36),包括6例5级毒性反应。
CP产生的生存率高于CK,治疗的非SCC患者更多,且使用的处方剂量更高。另一方面,两组均出现了严重毒性反应,不过这需要进一步研究。
