BACKGROUND/AIM: To identify the clinical and dosimetric predictors of severe acute radiation esophagitis (RE) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with accelerated hyperfractionated concurrent chemoradiotherapy (AH-CCRT) with concomitant boost technique.
A total of 159 patients who underwent AH-CCRT (64 Gy in 40 fractions twice daily) were retrospectively identified. Severe RE was designated as grade 3 or higher according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0.
The incidence rate of grade 3 RE was 15.1% (24/159). The multivariate analysis that incorporated the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS, ≥1 vs. 0) and the relative esophagus volume irradiated with at least 60 Gy (V) was optimal. Patients with a V of ≥15% had a 37.8% risk of grade 3 RE compared to a 6.1% risk among those with a V of <15%.
ECOG PS (≥1 vs. 0) and the V were found to be significant risk factors for severe RE in NSCLC patients who underwent AH-CCRT.
背景/目的:确定采用加速超分割同步放化疗(AH-CCRT)联合推量技术治疗的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者发生严重急性放射性食管炎(RE)的临床和剂量学预测因素。
回顾性纳入159例行AH-CCRT(40次分割,每日2次,共64 Gy)的患者。根据不良事件通用术语标准4.0版,将严重RE定义为3级或更高等级。
3级RE的发生率为15.1%(24/159)。纳入东部肿瘤协作组体能状态(ECOG PS,≥1 vs. 0)和至少60 Gy照射的相对食管体积(V)的多因素分析最为理想。V≥15%的患者发生3级RE的风险为37.8%,而V<15%的患者风险为6.1%。
ECOG PS(≥1 vs. 0)和V被发现是接受AH-CCRT的NSCLC患者发生严重RE的显著危险因素。
