HPV-associated or positive (HPV+) anal cancer patients may have better outcome compared to those with HPV negative (HPV-) disease. We report a planned interim analysis of a prospective registry study that tailors chemoradiation (CRT) for anal cancer according to HPV status.
HPV+ patients received de-escalated radiation doses of 45, 50.4 and 55.8 Gy, while HPV- received 50.4, 55.8 and 63 Gy for T1, T2 and T3/T4 disease respectively. Chemotherapy consisted of a single dose of mitomycin-C and oral capecitabine on days of RT. All patients were planned by VMAT following CT, PET/CT and MR simulation. This cohort (n = 24) had a minimum 24-month follow-up. Disease free survival (DFS) and local failure rates (LFR) were compared with 180 patients managed by standard CRT (2 cycles of mitomycin-C and 5-fluorouracil, radiation doses 50.4-63 Gy based on T-category) from 2011-2018. Propensity score comparison was performed using a retrospective to prospective 2 to 1 match based on tumor size and N-category.
In the HPV+ cohort (n = 20), there were 2 local failures. Two of 4 HPV- patients failed locally. The 30-month DFS and LFR were 79% and 17% respectively. Similar DFS and LFR were observed in the retrospective (80% and 15% respectively) and matched patients (76% and 16% respectively). No grade ≥3 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia were observed in the registry cohort whereas 19% and 14% respectively were seen in the retrospective patients.
De-escalation of CRT for HPV+ anal cancer may result in decreased acute toxicities and similar cancer outcomes compared to standard CRT.
与人类乳头瘤病毒阴性(HPV-)的肛管癌患者相比,HPV相关或阳性(HPV+)的肛管癌患者可能有更好的预后。我们报告了一项前瞻性登记研究的计划中期分析,该研究根据HPV状态为肛管癌定制放化疗(CRT)。
HPV+患者接受45、50.4和55.8 Gy的降阶梯放射剂量,而HPV-患者的T1、T2和T3/T4疾病分别接受50.4、55.8和63 Gy的放射剂量。化疗包括在放疗日给予单剂量丝裂霉素-C和口服卡培他滨。所有患者在CT、PET/CT和MR模拟后采用容积调强放疗(VMAT)进行计划。该队列(n = 24)进行了至少24个月的随访。将无病生存率(DFS)和局部失败率(LFR)与2011年至2018年接受标准CRT(2周期丝裂霉素-C和5-氟尿嘧啶,根据T分期给予50.4-63 Gy放射剂量)治疗的180例患者进行比较。基于肿瘤大小和N分期,采用回顾性到前瞻性2比1匹配进行倾向评分比较。
在HPV+队列(n = 20)中,有2例局部失败。4例HPV-患者中有2例局部失败。30个月的DFS和LFR分别为79%和17%。回顾性患者(分别为80%和15%)和匹配患者(分别为76%和16%)观察到相似的DFS和LFR。登记队列中未观察到≥3级中性粒细胞减少和发热性中性粒细胞减少,而回顾性患者中分别观察到19%和14%。
与标准CRT相比,HPV+肛管癌CRT降阶梯可能导致急性毒性降低和相似的癌症预后。
