BACKGROUND/AIM: We compared the outcome of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil as combination chemoradiotherapy (DCF-RT) for unresectable locally advanced thoracic esophageal cancer (EC) with that of cisplatin (CDDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) as combination chemoradiotherapy (CF-RT) in clinical settings.
Seventy-three patients with unresectable locally advanced thoracic EC were included in this study. CF (n=38) consisted of intravenous CDDP at 70 mg/m (day 1) and 5-FU at 700 mg/m (days 1 to 4), repeated every four weeks for two cycles. DCF (n=35) consisted of intravenous docetaxel at 50 mg/m (day 1), CDDP at 60 mg/m (day 1), and 5-FU at 600 mg/m (days 1 to 4), repeated every four weeks for two cycles. Patients were irradiated with 60 Gy in 30 fractions.
The overall complete response (CR) rate of DCF-RT was significantly higher than that of CF-RT (36.7% vs. 3.7%, p=0.003). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of DCF-RT was significantly higher than that of CF-RT (32.8% vs. 8.5%, p<0.001).
DCF-RT demonstrated a higher CR rate and OS for unresectable locally advanced thoracic EC than CF-RT.
背景/目的:我们比较了多西他赛、顺铂和 5-氟尿嘧啶联合放化疗(DCF-RT)与顺铂(CDDP)和 5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)联合放化疗(CF-RT)在不可切除局部晚期胸段食管鳞癌(EC)患者中的疗效。
73 例不可切除局部晚期胸段 EC 患者纳入本研究。CF 组(n=38)方案为静脉滴注顺铂 70mg/m(第 1 天)和 5-氟尿嘧啶 700mg/m(第 1 至 4 天),每 4 周重复 2 个周期。DCF 组(n=35)方案为静脉滴注多西他赛 50mg/m(第 1 天)、顺铂 60mg/m(第 1 天)和 5-氟尿嘧啶 600mg/m(第 1 至 4 天),每 4 周重复 2 个周期。患者接受 60Gy 分 30 次照射。
DCF-RT 的总体完全缓解(CR)率明显高于 CF-RT(36.7% vs. 3.7%,p=0.003)。DCF-RT 的 3 年总生存率(OS)明显高于 CF-RT(32.8% vs. 8.5%,p<0.001)。
与 CF-RT 相比,DCF-RT 可提高不可切除局部晚期胸段 EC 的 CR 率和 OS。
