To assess the clinical outcome of patients with high-risk early-stage endometrial cancer and negative pelvic nodes who received adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy plus vaginal brachytherapy (VBT).
This investigation assessed 80 patients who underwent hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and pelvic lymphadenectomy for stage Ib-II, grade 2-3 endometrioid (n = 43) or stage Ia-II nonendometrioid (n = 37) endometrial cancer.
Five-year local control rate, 5-year disease-free survival, and 5-year overall survival were 97, 87, and 97%, respectively, for endometrioid carcinoma, and 66, 50, and 72%, respectively, for nonendometrioid carcinoma.
This retrospective study appears to show that adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy plus VBT achieve very good results in endometrioid carcinoma. This combined treatment seems to be less effective in nonendometrioid carcinoma.
评估接受辅助铂类化疗联合阴道近距离放疗(VBT)的高危早期子宫内膜癌且盆腔淋巴结阴性患者的临床结局。
本研究评估了 80 例接受子宫切除术、双侧输卵管卵巢切除术和盆腔淋巴结切除术的患者,这些患者患有 Ib-II 期、组织学分级 2-3 级子宫内膜样(n=43)或 Ia-II 期非子宫内膜样(n=37)子宫内膜癌。
对于子宫内膜样癌,5 年局部控制率、5 年无病生存率和 5 年总生存率分别为 97%、87%和 97%,而非子宫内膜样癌则分别为 66%、50%和 72%。
这项回顾性研究似乎表明,辅助铂类化疗联合 VBT 可使子宫内膜样癌获得非常好的结果。这种联合治疗在非子宫内膜样癌中的效果似乎较差。
