The goal of this study was the determination of the effects in treatment of early stage (<IIB) and locally advanced stages (≥IIB) of uterine cervical carcinoma by using MRI.
The study was a prospective, comparative, analytical, and observational and included 74 patients with cervical cancer (PH confirmed). All 74 patients have initially gone through the pre-therapeutic MRI to determine the tumour FIGO stage. At a renewal of the initial MRI findings, patients were divided into two study groups: group A and group B. Group A consisted from 39 patients with early-stage cervical carcinoma (<IIB) and group B comprised from 35 patients with locally advanced stage (≥IIB). Postterapeutic MRI control, were perfomed in both group (A and B). Further MRI examinations were set for the patients from both groups.
An analysis of treatment outcomes in group A showed that most patients had no local recurrence or residuum disease in 89.7%, while local recurrence was observed in only 10.3% cases. An analysis of treatment outcomes in group B showed that most patients had complete regression after local chemoradiotherapy in 68.8%, while 25.7% of patients had local progression of the disease, while the 5.7% cases recorded partial local tumour regression(p<0.05). It has been shown that a complete local regression was more frequent in the case of squamous cell carcinoma in 74.2% vs 25% in adenocarcinoma cases. Also local and partial regression was observed more frequently in the case of squamous cell carcinoma in 6.5% compared to 0% in adenocarcinoma, while progression was more common in adenocarcinoma at 75% compared to 19.4% for squamous cell (p<0.05). MRI results showed positive outcome of treatment group A and B in our study, showed a statistically significant difference in favour of group A (89.7%) compared to group B 68.8% (p<0.05).
The results obtained from our studies show that early stage cervical cancer (<IIB) shows a better outcome in treatment of advanced stages (≥IIB). In the treatment of advanced stages (≥IIB), concomitant radio chemotherapy shows significant results in terms of complete tumour regression, especially in squamous cell type of cervical cancer.
本研究的目的是确定使用MRI治疗早期(<IIB期)和局部晚期(≥IIB期)子宫颈癌的效果。
本研究为前瞻性、对比性、分析性和观察性研究,纳入74例宫颈癌患者(经病理证实)。所有74例患者均首先进行了治疗前MRI检查以确定肿瘤的国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)分期。根据初次MRI检查结果,将患者分为两个研究组:A组和B组。A组由39例早期宫颈癌(<IIB期)患者组成,B组由35例局部晚期(≥IIB期)患者组成。两组(A组和B组)均进行了治疗后MRI复查。对两组患者均安排了进一步的MRI检查。
A组治疗结果分析显示,大多数患者(89.7%)无局部复发或残留疾病,仅10.3%的病例观察到局部复发。B组治疗结果分析显示,大多数患者(68.8%)在局部放化疗后完全缓解,25.7%的患者疾病局部进展,5.7%的病例记录为局部肿瘤部分消退(p<0.05)。结果表明,鳞状细胞癌患者完全局部缓解更为常见,占74.2%,腺癌患者为25%。鳞状细胞癌患者局部和部分消退也更为常见,占6.5%,腺癌患者为0%,而腺癌患者疾病进展更为常见,占75%,鳞状细胞癌患者为19.4%(p<0.05)。MRI结果显示本研究中A组和B组治疗效果良好,与B组的68.8%相比,A组(89.7%)有统计学显著差异(p<0.05)。
我们的研究结果表明,早期宫颈癌(<IIB期)的治疗效果优于晚期(≥IIB期)。在晚期(≥IIB期)宫颈癌的治疗中,同步放化疗在肿瘤完全消退方面显示出显著效果,尤其是鳞状细胞型宫颈癌。
