The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of extracranial GCT in children in a developing country and to assess prognostic factors. The data on 141 children (<18 years old) with extracranial GCT, confirmed histopathologically, collected over the past 9 years (from February 2013 to June 2022) were retrospectively studied. The patients underwent the same therapy with platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens. In the malignant GCT group, OS and EFS were 81.0 ± 4% and 73 ± 5%, respectively. OS and EFS in the teratoma group were 90 ± 5% and 85 ± 6%. In univariate analysis, parameters like stage of disease, tumor localization, AFP level ≥10,000 ng/mL, serum AFP kinetics and resection status were found to be statistically significant prognostic factors. In the multivariate analysis, the significant adverse factors were the resection status, initial AFP level ≥10,000 ng/mL and serum AFP kinetics slow down ( = .000). Good survival rates can be achieved in developing countries with adequate compliance with treatment protocols. The analysis demonstrates high efficacy of platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens. In our opinion, the protocol used in high-income countries can be implemented in low-income countries with the financial support from the government. The qualification of specialists is also important.
本研究的目的是分析发展中国家儿童颅外生殖细胞肿瘤(GCT)的治疗结果,并评估预后因素。回顾性研究了过去9年(2013年2月至2022年6月)收集的141例经组织病理学确诊的颅外GCT儿童(<18岁)的数据。患者接受了含铂化疗方案的相同治疗。在恶性GCT组中,总生存期(OS)和无事件生存期(EFS)分别为81.0±4%和73±5%。畸胎瘤组的OS和EFS分别为90±5%和85±6%。单因素分析发现,疾病分期、肿瘤定位、甲胎蛋白(AFP)水平≥10,000 ng/mL、血清AFP动力学和切除状态等参数是具有统计学意义的预后因素。多因素分析显示,显著的不良因素为切除状态、初始AFP水平≥10,000 ng/mL和血清AFP动力学减慢(P = .000)。在发展中国家,只要充分遵守治疗方案,就能取得良好的生存率。分析表明含铂化疗方案具有很高的疗效。我们认为,在政府的财政支持下,高收入国家使用的方案可以在低收入国家实施。专家的资质也很重要。
