ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation combined with gemcitabine and Gio (gemcitabine and S-1, GS scheme) chemotherapy in treating advanced pancreatic carcinoma. Methods Sixty-eight patients with inoperable advanced pancreatic carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in group A(n=38) were treated with CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation combined with GS chemotherapy scheme, while patients in group B (n=30) received GS chemotherapy scheme only. The short-term effect, the median progression-free survival time, the median survival time and adverse reactions of the two groups were determined , and the results were compared between the two groups. Results The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and clinical benefit rate (CBR) of the group A were 57.9%, 73.7%and 84.2%respectively, while those of group B were 26.7%, 46.7% and 60.0% respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P0.05). Conclusion For advanced pancreatic carcinoma, CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation combined with GS program is a safe and effective treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of CT-guided 125I particles implantation combined with gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) regimen in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods 42 patients with unresectable local advanced pancreatic cancer were given with CT-guided 125I seed implantation.3-4 cycles of GS regimen was given based on the tolerance of patient s body within 3-7 d after implantation of particles.Review of blood,CA199,chest X-ray,CT scan + enhanced or MRI were performed at 2nd,4th,6th,12th month after surgery.Results 2nd,4th,6th month after surgery,tumor lesions were significantly reduced,ORRs were 59.5 ％ (25/42),66.7 ％ (28/42) and 73.8 ％ (31/42),respectively,DCRs were 83.3 ％ (35/42),78.6 ％ (33/42) and 76.2 ％ (32/42),respectively.No serious adverse reactions were observed,patient could tolerate these reactions.The 6th,12th,24th month survival rates were 100 ％ (42/42),47.6 ％ (20/42) and 11.9 ％ (5/42),respectively,mPFS was 8.27 months and mOS was 12.00 months.Conclusion CT-guided 125I particles implantation combined with GS regimen is convenient,safe,high efficacy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
