To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of paclitaxel plus carboplatin (TC)-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by consolidation chemotherapy in the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIB/IVA cervical cancer patients.
We reviewed the medical records of FIGO stage IIIB/IVA cervical cancer patients (n=30) who had been intended to be treated with TC-based CCRT followed by consolidation chemotherapy (TC-CCRT-group) from April 2012-May 2016. Patients who had been treated with CCRT involving a single platinum agent (CCRT-group; n=52) or definitive radiotherapy alone (RT-group; n=74) from January 1997-September 2012 were also identified and used as historical controls. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test.
Of the 30 patients included in the TC-CCRT-group, 22 patients (73.3%) completed the planned TC-based CCRT. The most frequently observed acute grade 3/4 hematological toxicities were leukopenia and neutropenia, and diarrhea was the most common acute grade 3/4 non-hematological toxicity. After a median follow-up of 35 months, 9 patients (30.0%) had developed recurrent disease. The patients' estimated 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 67.9% and 90.8%, respectively. In comparisons with historical control groups, the survival outcomes of TC-CCRT-group was significantly superior to CCRT-group in terms of OS (p=0.011) and significantly superior to RT-group in terms of both PFS (p=0.009) and OS (p<0.001).
TC-based CCRT followed by consolidation chemotherapy is safe and effective. A randomized controlled study needs to be conducted to further evaluate the efficacy of this multimodal approach in this patient population.
评估以紫杉醇联合卡铂(TC)为基础的同步放化疗(CCRT)联合巩固化疗在国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)IIIB/IVA期宫颈癌患者中的疗效和毒性。
我们回顾了2012年4月至2016年5月期间拟接受以TC为基础的CCRT联合巩固化疗(TC-CCRT组,n = 30)的FIGO IIIB/IVA期宫颈癌患者的病历。还确定了1997年1月至2012年9月期间接受过含单一铂类药物的CCRT治疗(CCRT组,n = 52)或单纯根治性放疗(RT组,n = 74)的患者,并将其作为历史对照。采用Kaplan-Meier法计算生存率,并使用对数秩检验进行比较。
在TC-CCRT组纳入的30例患者中,22例(73.3%)完成了计划的以TC为基础的CCRT。最常观察到的3/4级急性血液学毒性是白细胞减少和中性粒细胞减少,腹泻是最常见的3/4级急性非血液学毒性。中位随访35个月后,9例(30.0%)患者出现疾病复发。患者的3年无进展生存率(PFS)和总生存率(OS)估计分别为67.9%和90.8%。与历史对照组相比,TC-CCRT组的生存结果在OS方面显著优于CCRT组(p = 0.011),在PFS(p = 0.009)和OS(p < 0.001)方面均显著优于RT组。
以TC为基础的CCRT联合巩固化疗安全有效。需要进行一项随机对照研究,以进一步评估这种多模式方法在该患者群体中的疗效。
