We evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) for skull base chordoma, a rare neoplasm.
Thirty-four patients with skull base chordoma who were treated with C-ion RT were prospectively enrolled and analyzed retrospectively. C-ion RT was delivered with 60.8 Gy (relative biological effectiveness [RBE]) in 16 fractions at four fractions per week.
The median follow-up period was 108 months. The 5- and 9-year local control rates were 76.9% and 69.2%, respectively. The 5- and 9-year overall survival rates were 93.5% and 77.4%, respectively. Regarding grade 3 or more severe late reactions, one patient developed a grade 3 mucosal ulcer, two developed grade 4 ipsilateral optic nerve injuries, and one developed a grade 5 mucosal ulcer at 9 years and 3 months after C-ion RT.
C-ion RT with 60.8 Gy (RBE)/16 fractions is a promising treatment option for inoperable skull base chordoma.
我们评估了碳离子放疗(C离子放疗)治疗罕见肿瘤——颅底脊索瘤的长期疗效和安全性。
前瞻性纳入34例接受C离子放疗的颅底脊索瘤患者,并进行回顾性分析。C离子放疗总剂量为60.8 Gy(相对生物效应[RBE]),分16次给予,每周4次。
中位随访期为108个月。5年和9年局部控制率分别为76.9%和69.2%。5年和9年总生存率分别为93.5%和77.4%。关于3级或更严重的晚期反应,1例患者出现3级黏膜溃疡,2例出现4级同侧视神经损伤,1例在C离子放疗后9年3个月出现5级黏膜溃疡。
60.8 Gy(RBE)/16次分割的C离子放疗是不可切除颅底脊索瘤的一种有前景的治疗选择。
