To describe intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) boost for locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC) with disease near dose-limiting structures.
Patients with HNC treated with IMRT/GKRS as part of a combined modality approach between 2011 and 2021 were reviewed. Local control, overall survival and disease-specific survival were estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.
Twenty patients were included. Nineteen patients had T3-4 tumors. Median follow-up was 26.3 months. GKRS site control was 95%. Two patients progressed at the treated primary site, one patient failed at the edge of the GKRS treatment volume, with no perineural or intracranial failure. 2-year OS was 94.7% (95% CI: 85.2%-100%). Concurrent chemotherapy was given in nine patients (45%). One patient (5%) received induction/concurrent chemotherapy. Brain radionecrosis occurred in three patients, one of which was biopsy-proven.
IMRT plus GKRS boost results in excellent disease control near critical structures with minimal toxicity.
描述调强放疗(IMRT)联合伽玛刀放射外科(GKRS)治疗局部晚期头颈部癌症(HNC),这些癌症临近剂量限制结构。
回顾了 2011 年至 2021 年期间,采用调强放疗/伽玛刀放射外科综合治疗的局部晚期头颈部癌症患者。采用 Kaplan-Meier 方法估计局部控制、总生存率和疾病特异性生存率。
共纳入 20 例患者。19 例患者的肿瘤为 T3-4 期。中位随访时间为 26.3 个月。GKRS 部位控制率为 95%。2 例患者在治疗的原发部位进展,1 例患者在 GKRS 治疗体积边缘失败,无神经周围或颅内失败。2 年 OS 为 94.7%(95%CI:85.2%-100%)。9 例(45%)患者接受同期化疗。1 例(5%)患者接受诱导/同期化疗。3 例患者发生脑放射性坏死,其中 1 例经活检证实。
在紧邻关键结构的部位,调强放疗联合 GKRS 推量治疗可获得极好的疾病控制,且毒性极小。
