Clinical observation of combined chemoradiotherapy treatment on advanced esophageal carcinoma / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer and analyze the associated factors of surviving with esophageal patients.Methods 60 cases were retrospectively analyzed in the study.They were divided into two groups according to the treatment methods,radiotherapy(RT)group and chemoraidiotherapy(CRT)group.The group CRT was divided into concurrent chemoraidiotherapy(CCRT)group and sequence chemoraidiotherapy(SCRT)group.The group RT and group CRT all use 6mvX line conventional therapy,common fraction 200 Gy/f,DT 60 to 70 Gy,Group CRT combine the chemotherapy concurrent or after radiotherapy.Results The 1,2,3 year survival rate of the group CRT and the group RT are 73.30%,46.70%,16.67%and 60.30%,16.67%,6.67% respectively,2 year survival of group CRT is beaer than group RT(P＜0.05).(2)The 1,2,3 year survival rate of the group SCRT and CCRT are 88.89%,55.55%,22.22% and 84.21%,47.37%,15.79% respectively.The short-term side-effect is more serious,the patients could bear.The prognosis of the esophageal carcinoma is closely associated with treatment methods and clinical stage.Conclusion Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer improved the survival.Chemoradiotherapy is an effective treatment for advanced esophageal carcinoma,diagnosis and treatments in early stage are especially important.
