The study on short-time therapeutic effect and adverse reaction observation of TOMOX regimen combined with three dimensional conformal radiotherapy for middle and advanced esophageal cancer / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the efficacy and adverse reaction of TOMOX regimen combined with three dimensional conformal radiotherapy in the treatment of middle and advanced esophageal cancer. Methods:51 cases of hospitalized patients with esophageal cancer were selected from January 2013 to December 2015 in our hospital who were divided into observation group (n=27) and control group (n=24) by random number table method. The control group was treated with three dimensional conformal radiotherapy, and the observation group was added with the TOMOX scheme based on the control group. Compare the efficacy of the two groups, the control period, the survival period, the toxicity and side effects.Results: The rate of complete response(CR)and partial response (PR) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P0.05). The rate of acute esophagitis in the observation group group was higher than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion: TOMOX combined with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy can effectively improve the short-term efficacy and long-term survival rate, reduce adverse reactions.
