序贯化、放疗结合中药治疗54例晚期非小细胞肺癌患者的预后分析

目的 回顾分析序贯化、放疗结合中药治疗54例晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的疗效，及对生存质量和生存率的影响，并探讨影响预后的因素。方法 选择2000年1月～2001年12月的54例未经治疗的晚期NSCLC患者(Ⅲ期20例，Ⅳ期34例)，采用序贯化、放疗结合中药的综合疗法，同时减少化疗疗程，延长疗程间隔时间，观察疗效及其对生存质量和生存率的影响，并分析影响预后的因素。结果 完全缓解(CR)1例，部分缓解(PR)20例，总缓解率(CR PR)为40．4％；中位生存期为15．3个月；1、2、3年的生存率分别为53．7％、28．9％、9．6％。其中Ⅲ、Ⅳ期患者的中位生存期分别为21．8个月和12．5个月；Ⅲ期患者l、2、3年的生存率分别为65．0％、49．5％、24．7％；Ⅳ期患者l、2、3年的生存率分别为47．0％、23．3％、0％。绝大多数患者的生活质量得到提高。Cox回归模型分析显示，患者生活质量的提高和坚持中药治疗对生存期的延长有显著意义。结论 序贯化、放疗结合中药治疗晚期NSCLC患者，可减少化疗疗程，延长疗程间隔时间，从而改善生活质量、延长生存期。

Prognostic analysis of advanced non small cell lung cancer treated by sequential chemo-radiation therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine:A report of 54 cases

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of fewer courses and prolonged intervals of chemotherapy on survival rate of advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated by sequential chemo-radiation therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). METHODS: From Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2001, 54 untreated advanced NSCLC patients (2 stage IIIa, 18 stage IIIb, 34 stage IV) were treated by sequential chemo-radiation therapy combined with TCM. The courses of chemotherapy were reduced and the intervals of chemotherapy were longer than that of the standard regimen. The efficacy and survival rate were documented and the prognostic factors were analyzed. RESULTS: Complete remission (CR) was observed in 1 case and partial remission (PR) in 20 cases. The overall objective response rate was 40.4%. Median survival was 15.3 months, 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rate were 53.7%, 28.9% and 9.6% respectively. The median survival of stage III and IV were 21.8 months and 12.5 months respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates of stage III were 65.0%, 49.5%, 24.7% and that of stage IV were 47.0%, 23.3%, 0%, respectively. The quality of life was improved in most of the patients. Cox's proportional hazards regression showed that improved quality of life and treatment of TCM were the significant prognostic factors of overall survival. CONCLUSION: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy combined with TCM is beneficial to extending the interval of chemotherapy, improving the quality of life, and increasing the survival rate of advanced NSCLC patients.
