术中125I粒子植入联合术后化学治疗中晚期食管鳞癌

目的 探讨术中125I粒子植入联合术后化学治疗治疗胸段中晚期食管鳞癌(ESCC)的安全性及疗效.方法 前瞻性队列研究,入组时间为2000年1月至2005年12月.根据ESCC术前CT分期标准,南京医科大学附属南京第一医院肿瘤外科和盐城市肿瘤医院胸外科298例Ⅱ～Ⅲ期胸段ESCC患者通过计算机随机数字法分为术中125I粒子植入联合术后化学治疗组(A组,98例)、术后放射化学治疗组(B组,100例)及单纯根治术组(C组,100例).三组均行食管癌根治术.再根据术后pTNM分期标准,最终实际入组Ⅱb～Ⅲ期胸段ESCC患者233例,三组分别为78例、75例、80例.依据治疗计划系统(TPS)所确定的剂量,A组于术中直视下植入125I粒子.选用0.5 mCi的125I粒子10～22粒,总活度在5～11 mCi,肿瘤匹配周边剂量60～70 Gy,术后通过影像学手段(CT、X线片)行粒子验证和质量评估.观察患者术后并发症,通过CT监测肿瘤影像学、局部复发情况,随访术后1、3、5、10年生存率.结果 A组术后粒子验证无移位、脱落,质量评估满意.A、B、C组局部复发率分别为11.5%、13.3%、38.8%,比较差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).3组并发症比较差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05).3组1年生存率对比差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05),A、B、C组3、5、10年总体及无进展生存率分别为64.8%,37.7%,25.1%;63.3%,36.9%,24.9%;43.6%,25.0%,12.6%)及63.5%,37.4%,15.1%;62.5%,36.6%,14.4%;42.5%,25.6%,6.2%;3组比较差异均有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论 术中125I粒子植入联合术后化疗与术后放化疗治疗中晚期食管鳞癌疗效相当,是简单、安全、有效的方法,可降低局部复发率、延长患者生存期.

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 125I radioactive seeds implantation combined with postoperative chemotherapy as a treatment option for thoracic advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC). Methods A prospective cohort study was carried out between 2000and 2005. According to preoperative CT staging criteria,298 patients in phase Ⅱ-Ⅲ of ESCC, who had were admitted to Oncology Center Surgery of Nanjing First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University and Thoracic Surgery of YanCheng Oncology Hospital, were randomly divided into three groups: intraoperative 125I seeds implantation combined with postoperative chemotherapy (group A, 98cases), postoperative chemoradiotherapy (group B, 100 cases) and surgery alone (group C, 100cases). All patients received radical resection of esophageal cancer. According to pTNM staging criteria after operation, 233 patients in phase Ⅱb-Ⅲ of ESCC were finally enrolled in the study (78 in group A, 75 in group B, and 80 in group C). With 0. 5 m Ci of single seed, total activity of 5-11 mCi and matched peripheral dose in 60-70 Gy, 10-22 125I seeds were implanted into the target of patients in group A under direct vision in accordance with treatment planning system. The validation and quality assessment of radioactive seeds were demonstrated according to CT scan or X-ray imaging. The postoperative complications were observed. The local recurrence of the cancer was demonstrated using CT scan. The survival rate of patients was followed up for 1-,3-,5- and 10 years. Results The satisfied quality assessment of 125I seeds was observed. There was no displacement or loss of seed. The local recurrence in group A, B and C was 11. 5%, 13. 3% and 38. 8%, respectively, with statistical significance (P ＜ 0. 05). There was no significant difference among three groups with respect to complications and 1-year survival (P＞0. 05). However, the overall survival rate 3-, 5- and 10-years was 64.8%,37. 7% and 25. 1% in group A respectively; 63.3%, 36.9% and 24.9% in group Brespectively; 43. 6i%, 25.0%, and 12.6% in group C, respectively (all P＜0. 05). The 3-,5- and 10-year progression free survival rates were 63.5 %, 37.4 % and 15.1% in group A respectively; 62.5 %,36.6% and 14. 4% in group B respectively; 42.5%, 25.6% and 6.2% in group C respectively (all P＜0. 05). Conclusions It is a safe, effective and simple method for intraoperative 125I seeds implantation combined with postoperative chemotherapy in treatment of advanced ESCC, which may reduce the local recurrence and improve survival rates in patients with ESCC.
