ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effetive,toxicity and survial rate of non-operation esophageal carcinoma patients treated by tegafur plus cisplatin combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT).Methods 184 cases of non-operation patients with esophageal carcinoma were divided into two groups.The cases of treatment group were treated by cisplatin and tegafur.The cases of control group were treated by cisplatin and 5-Fu.All patients received 3D-CRT,and the total radiation dose was 50-70 Gy.Each group had 14 cases treated with primary chemotherapy for 1 course,28 cases for 2 courses,and 50 cases without any chemotherapy.Results The recent effect rate was 69.57 ％ (64/92) in treatment group and 67.39 ％ (62/92) in control group,there was no statistical difference (x2 =0.101,P =0.874).Radioactive esophagitis and leukopenia were the main side effect of treatment.The treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group,the difference had statistical significance.The 1-,2-and 3-year survival rates were 74.9 ％,61.6 ％,52.8 ％,respectively in treatment group and 75.8 ％,56.9 ％,48.0 ％,respectively in control group.The control group survival rates were significantly higher than the treatment group,the difference had statistical significance (x2 =7.325,P =0.007).Conclusions Cisplatin plus tegafur or 5-Fu combined with 3D-CRT is effective way of treatment for non-operation of esophageal carcinoma.The toxicity of cisplatin plus tegafur group is significantly lower than cisplatin plus 5-Fu group,therefor it can improve the quality of life of the patients obviously.
