To retrospectively assess toxicity and survival in 15 selected Glioblastoma patients treated with a sequential fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) boost after chemo-radiotherapy (CHT-RT) and compare their survival outcomes with a control group.
Toxicity was assessed with the CTCAE 3.0 scale. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to design survival curves, log-rank test for bivariate analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression model for multivariate analysis.
The median follow-up was 16 months (range=5-60). One case of headache and one of radionecrosis (RN) occurred. Median overall survival (OS) was 25 months in the boost group vs. 14 in the no-boost group (p=0.004). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 15 months in the boost group versus 8 in the no-boost group (p=0.046). At multivariate analysis FSRT boost resulted significantly associated with OS and PFS.
In our series a sequential FSRT boost resulted in safe outcomes and significantly associated with survival.
回顾性评估 15 例经化疗-放疗(CHT-RT)后序贯分割立体定向放疗(FSRT)推量治疗的胶质母细胞瘤患者的毒性和生存情况,并将其生存结果与对照组进行比较。
采用 CTCAE 3.0 量表评估毒性。采用 Kaplan-Meier 法设计生存曲线,对数秩检验进行双变量分析,Cox 比例风险回归模型进行多变量分析。
中位随访时间为 16 个月(范围=5-60)。发生 1 例头痛和 1 例放射性坏死(RN)。在推量组中,中位总生存期(OS)为 25 个月,在无推量组中为 14 个月(p=0.004)。在推量组中,中位无进展生存期(PFS)为 15 个月,在无推量组中为 8 个月(p=0.046)。多变量分析显示,FSRT 推量与 OS 和 PFS 显著相关。
在我们的研究中,序贯 FSRT 推量治疗结果安全,并与生存显著相关。
