BACKGROUND/AIM: To evaluate the benefits of the addition of oxaliplatin (OX) to fluoropyrimidine (FP)-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for patients with locally advanced rectal cancers (LARCs).
We performed retrospective analyses comparing the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) between FP-based and FP+OX-based CRT groups and for patients who had completed the CRT.
One hundred patients were included in the analyses: the pCR rate, OS, RFS, and LRFS were similar between these groups. The FP+OX group showed significantly more frequent incompleteness of the CRT compared to the FP group (p=0.049). Among the patients who had completed the CRT, the FP+OX group demonstrated significantly improved LRFS compared to the FP group (p=0.048).
The addition of OX to an FP regimen in neoadjuvant CRT for LARC may reduce local recurrence in patients who have achieved good compliance to CRT.
背景/目的:评估奥沙利铂(OX)联合氟嘧啶(FP)为基础的新辅助放化疗(CRT)对局部晚期直肠癌(LARC)患者的益处。
我们进行了回顾性分析,比较了 FP 为基础和 FP+OX 为基础 CRT 组以及完成 CRT 的患者的病理完全缓解(pCR)率、总生存(OS)、无复发生存(RFS)和局部无复发生存(LRFS)。
共有 100 例患者纳入分析:两组的 pCR 率、OS、RFS 和 LRFS 相似。FP+OX 组与 FP 组相比,CRT 不完全的发生率明显更高(p=0.049)。在完成 CRT 的患者中,FP+OX 组的 LRFS 明显优于 FP 组(p=0.048)。
在 LARC 的新辅助 CRT 中,FP 方案中加入 OX 可能会降低对 CRT 有良好依从性患者的局部复发率。
