The aim of our study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients reirradiated with high-dose-rate (HDR) intensity-modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) for recurrent head and neck cancer and to perform a systematic review of the literature.
Patients treated with prior radiation doses >65 Gy were considered. After resection of macroscopic disease, catheters were fixed to the tumor bed. The total dose was 30 Gy in 12 fractions of 2.5 Gy twice daily for 5 days a week. A systematic literature search was conducted through several electronic databases including Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Embase and the Cochrane library.
Seventeen patients were included; median overall survival was 19 months with a median local control interval of 15 months. Median follow-up was 36 months. Seven papers were considered for the review.
IMBT could play an important role in the retreatment of recurrent head and neck cancer.
我们研究的目的是评估接受高剂量率(HDR)调强近距离放射治疗(IMBT)的复发性头颈癌患者的治疗结果,并对文献进行系统综述。
考虑曾接受过大于65 Gy放射剂量治疗的患者。在肉眼可见的病灶切除后,将导管固定于瘤床。总剂量为30 Gy,分12次给予,每次2.5 Gy,每天两次,每周5天。通过多个电子数据库进行系统文献检索,包括Medline/PubMed、Scopus、Embase和Cochrane图书馆。
纳入17例患者;中位总生存期为19个月,中位局部控制期为15个月。中位随访时间为36个月。7篇论文纳入综述。
IMBT在复发性头颈癌的再治疗中可发挥重要作用。
