长春瑞滨和奥沙利铂方案同步放化疗治疗Ⅲ期非小细胞肺癌随机对照临床观察

目的观察长春瑞滨、奥沙利铂方案同步放化疗治疗非手术选择的局部晚期(Ⅲ期)非小细胞肺癌的可行性及患者的耐受性,并比较同步放化疗前后联合诱导化疗或辅助化疗不同化疗时序对疗效及毒副反应的影响。方法49例经病理或细胞学确诊的局部晚期非小细胞肺癌患者随机分为A、B两组。A组24例予长春瑞滨联合奥沙利铂方案诱导化疗2周期后,从第3周期第1天开始施行同步放化疗,放疗期间继续原方案化疗2周期。B组25例于长春瑞滨联合奥沙利铂方案第1周期化疗第1天开始实行放疗,放疗期间化疗2周期,同步放化疗结束后即第3周期开始予原方案巩固2周期。两组化疗方案均采用长春瑞滨联合奥沙利铂方案化疗(长春瑞滨25 mg/m2,第1天及第8天;奥沙利铂130 mg/m2,第1天)。放疗采用6MV X射线,三维适形放疗技术,常规剂量分割,DT40 Gy后缩野,追加剂量至DT60 Gy。结果所有患者均顺利完成治疗。A组有效率62.5%(CR 2例,PR 13例),1,2年生存率分别为62.5%和41.7%;B组有效率64.0%(CR 3例,PR 13例),1,2年生存率分别为64.0%和44.0%,两组间差异无显著性。毒副反应主要是白细胞减少,周围神经感觉异常,恶心、呕吐,放射性食道炎及肺炎。发生率以诱导化疗组高,但差异无显著性,严重毒副反应少。结论长春瑞滨联合奥沙利铂方案同步放化疗治疗局部晚期非小细胞肺癌近期疗效较理想,毒副反应轻,患者能耐受。同步放化疗前后诱导与巩固化疗时序对疗效及毒副反应影响不大。     

局部晚期非小细胞肺癌同步放化疗中化疗模式的探索

局部晚期非小细胞肺癌占初诊肺癌患者的三分之一以上。同步放化疗是目前局部晚期非小细胞肺癌的标准治疗手段。手术和放疗剂量的提升并不能带来更多生存获益。同步放化疗前的诱导化疗和同步放化疗后的巩固化疗未显示出生存率的提高。同步放化疗中3代化疗方案优于2代化疗方案,更优的化疗方案正在探索中。培美曲塞在非鳞癌非小细胞肺癌化疗中的作用已经被证实,但是与放疗的结合仍需验证。EGFR突变状态的局部晚期肺鳞癌患者接受同步放化疗疗效更好。分子靶向药物联合同步放化疗治疗局部晚期非小细胞肺癌是新的研究方向。     

同步放化疗和单纯放疗治疗ⅡB～ⅢB期宫颈癌的疗效比较

背景与目的:同步放化疗已成为局部晚期宫颈癌的标准治疗模式,但对于放疗联合何种方案的化疗效果最佳,目前尚无一致意见.本研究中我们比较同步放化疗与单纯放疗,以及同步放化疗不同化疗方案的疗效及毒副反应.方法:2003年1月至2004年12月江西省妇幼保健院收治的符合人组标准的ⅡB～ⅢB期宫颈癌患者285例,按住院序号随机分为单纯放疗组142例,同步放化疗组143例.同步放化疗组又按化疗方案不同分为:BP(博来霉素 顺铂)方案同步放化疗51例,TP(紫杉醇 卡铂)方案同步放化疗47例,FP(氟尿嘧啶 顺铂)方案同步放化疗45例.比较单纯放疗组与同步放化疗组患者的3年生存率和不良反应,同时对同步放化疗三种不同化疗方案组的3年生存率及不良反应进行比较.结果:全组中位随访时间为42个月,单纯放疗组与同步放化疗组的3年生存率分别为65%和75%,两组比较差异有统计学意义(P=0.042).单纯放疗组Ⅲ～Ⅳ度急性毒副反应低于同步放化疗组(P<0.001),迟发性毒副反应两组差异无统计学意义(P=0.613).同步放化疗组BP方案、TP方案、FP方案的3年生存率分别为74%、80%和71%,三组间比较差异无统计学意义(P=0.792).三组Ⅲ～Ⅳ度急性及迟发性毒副反应发生率相似.结论:与单纯放疗相比,同步放化疗可明显提高ⅡB～ⅢB期宫颈癌患者的疗效.在同步放化疗三种不同的化疗方案中,紫杉醇联合卡铂方案组患者3年生存率略高于其他两种化疗方案,毒副反应可耐受,值得进一步研究.

Clinical Observation of Concurrent Radio-Chemotherapy Combined with Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Treating Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and side effects of concurrent radiochemotherapy using the TP regimen (paclitaxel and cisplatin) combined with adjuvant treatment in treating patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).METHODS A total of 82 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of locoregionally advanced stage-Ⅲ and Ⅳa NPC were randomly divided into 2 groups: the treatment group (TG) with concurrent radiochemotherapy combined with adjuvant chemotherapy (n =44) and the control group (CG) with simple radiotherapy (RT)(n=38). A total dose of 68-74 Gy of conformal radiation (X-ray,4 MV or 8 MV) was given to patients in both groups. In the TG,a regimen of paxlitaxel and cisplatin was given via intravenous infusion in the 1st and 6th week concurrently with RT. After a 2-week intermission following RT, these patients received 2 cycles of the same chemotherapeutic regimen triweekly.RESULTS The effective rates of the treatment were, respectively,71.1% and 76.3% in the CG, and 88.6% and 95.5% in the TG, at the end of treatment and 3 months thereafter. The differences in the therapeutic efficacy between the 2 groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The 1-and 2-year survival rates were 81.1% and 73%, and 95.2% and 90.5%, respectively in the CG and the TG, and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ reactions in the gastrointestinal tract, skin and oral mucosa were higher in patients receiving concurrent radiochemotherapy combined with adjuvant chemotherapy than in patients receiving simple radiotherapy(P< 0.05). The differences in the occurrence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ side effects including gastrointestinal, dermal and oral mucosal discomfort,other side effects, and late radioactive damage between the 2 groups were not statistically significant.CONCLUSION Concurrent radiochemotherapy combined with adjuvant chemotherapy in treating patients with locoregionally advanced NPC can further improve short-term therapeutic effects and the overall survival. However, there is an increased trend in toxicity secondary to treatment.     

Toxicity of Concurrent Radiochemotherapy for Locally Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Concurrent radiochemotherapy (RCT) is the treatment of choice for patients with locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two meta-analyses were inconclusive in an attempt to define the optimal concurrent RCT scheme. Besides efficacy, treatment toxicity will influence the appointed treatment of choice. A systematic review of the literature was performed to record the early and late toxicities, as well as overall survival, of concurrent RCT regimens in patients with NSCLC. The databases of PubMed, Ovid, Medline, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles on concurrent RCT published between January 1992 and December 2009. Publications of phase II and phase III trials with ≥ 50 patients per treatment arm were selected. Patient characteristics, chemotherapy regimen (mono- or polychemotherapy, high or low dose) and radiotherapy scheme, acute and late toxicity, and overall survival data were compared. Seventeen articles were selected: 12 studies with cisplatin-containing regimens and 5 studies using carboplatin. A total of 13 series with mono- or polychemotherapy schedules—as single dose or double or triple high-dose or daily cisplatin-containing (≤ 30 mg/m²/wk) chemotherapy were found. Acute esophagitis ≥ grade 3 was observed in up to 18% of the patients. High-dose cisplatin regimens resulted in more frequent and severe hematologic toxicity, nausea, and vomiting than did other schemes. The toxicity profile was more favorable in low-dose chemotherapy schedules. From phase II and III trials published between 1992 and 2010, it can be concluded that concurrent RCT with monochemotherapy consisting of daily cisplatin results in favorable acute and late toxicity compared with concurrent RCT with single high-dose chemotherapy, doublets, or triplets.     

Effects of different chemotherapy regimens on survival for advanced cervical cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: A large number of trials have assessed various chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer, but there is uncertainty about the magnitude of survival benefits. METHODS: We searched (last update January 2006) for trials in women with locally advanced or disseminated cervical cancer that compared neo-adjuvant or concurrent chemotherapy plus radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone; or different chemotherapy regimens among themselves (with or without background radiotherapy in both arms). Sixty-five trials were identified with survival data on 11,180 women. Results for survival were combined with fixed and random effects models and between-study heterogeneity was estimated. Separate results were obtained for different regimens, cycle length, and type of chemotherapy (neo-adjuvant, concurrent, without radiotherapy). RESULTS: Twenty two comparisons had survival data on 3837 women randomized to receive chemotherapy plus radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone; the summary relative hazard for mortality was 0.95, 95% CI, 0.83-1.08. Modest between-study heterogeneity (I2=38%) seemed to be due to contradictory results in early trials; trials published in the last decade had a summary relative hazard 0.89 (95% CI, 0.78-1.02) and no between-study heterogeneity (I2=0%). Results were similar for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Cisplatin or cisplatin-based combinations had no significant benefit overall, but a potential benefit was seen with short-length cycles (14 days) and a marginally significant harm with longer-length cycles (summary relative hazards 0.80, 95% CI, 0.66-0.99 and 1.18, 95% CI, 1.02-1.38, respectively). The summary relative hazard was 1.02, (95% CI, 0.84-1.24) for trials using neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.73-1.00) for trials using concurrent chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence on chemotherapy in women with advanced cervical cancer is not encouraging for major survival benefits. However, small benefits have been observed in some trials, especially with short-length cycles of cisplatin-based regimens and concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in locally advanced NSCLC

The combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is considered to be a standard approach for patients with locally advanced, stage III non-small-cell lung cancer. The current state of the art of combined radiochemotherapy supported by evidence-based data is presented. As shown in the meta-analyses, the concurrent radiochemotherapy gives a superior outcome in terms of survival compared with sequential delivery of both modalities. This is obtained at the expense of higher toxicity, which makes further intensification of radiochemotherapy challenging. Eligibility of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer for such an approach is limited. The new methods to improve treatment results, such as selection of proper strategies, incorporation of molecular agents into combined treatment and radiotherapy technique modifications are discussed.
