1093例初治鼻咽癌的疗效和预后分析

目的 报道21世纪初中山大学肿瘤防治中心初治鼻咽癌的放疗现状及比较不同放疗技术对预后和生存质量的影响.方法 对根治性放疗的1093例初治鼻咽癌患者的资料进行回顾性分析.按2002年UICC分期标准,Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳa+Ⅳb期分别为63、439、358、233例.812例采用X线透视模拟定位常规设野放疗(CR),155例采用CT模拟定位常规设野放疗(CT-sim CR),69例采用三维适形放疗(3DCRT),57例采用调强放疗(IMRT).放疗鼻咽部中位剂量为70 Gy.结果 全组5年局部控制率、区域控制率和无远处转移率分别为86.8%、95.3%和83.2%,5年无进展生存率和总生存率分别为66.9%和77.9%.CR、CT-sim CR、3DCRT、IMRT组5年总生存率和局部控制率分别为75.9%、83.5%、87.2%、86.6%(P=0.014)和84.5%、96.4%、91.0%、91.7%(P=0.006).3DCRT、IMRT组口干和张口困难发生率和程度较CR、CT-sim CR组明显减低(P=0.000和0.023).结论 采用CT模拟定位、3DCRT及IMRT技术能提高局部控制率和生存率,且3DCRT和IMRT技术能提高患者生活质量.

Treatment results and prognostic analysis of 1093 primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Objective To analyze the treatment results of primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)treated by four different external beam radiation therapy(EBRT)techniques in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in the beginning of the 21 st century.Methods The data of 1093 hospitalized primary NPC patients treated in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between December 2001 and June 2003 were retrospectively analyzed.The stage distribution(by AJCC/UICC,2002)was 63,439,358 and 233 patients in Stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳa+Ⅳb.Definitive radiotherapy was given to all patients and the median total dose was 70 Gy.Four different EBRT techniques were used:812 patients with fluoroscopy simulation conventional radiotherapy(CR),155 patients with CT simulation conventional radiotherapy(CT-sim CR),69 patients with three dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT)and 57 patients with intensity modulated radiotherapv(IMRT). Results The 5-year local failure-free rate(LFFR),nodal failure-free rate(NFFR),and distant metastasis-free rate(DMFR)were 86.8%,95.3%and 83.2%,respectively.The 5-year progressionfree survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)were 66.9%and 77.9%,respectively.Different EBRT techniques influeneed the OS and the LFFR of patients,the 5-year OS and LFFR of group CR,CT-sim CR,3DCRT and IMRT were 75.9%,83.5%,87.2%,86.6% and 84.5%,96.4%,91.0%,91.7%,respectively(P=0.014 and 0.006).The morbidity and severity of xerostomia and trismus were sigficantly lower in group 3DCRT and IMRT than in group CR and CT-sim CR(P=0.000 and=0.023). Conclusion The CT simulation technique,3DCRT and IMRT can improve the OS,LFFR and life qualitv of patients with primary NPC.
