This retrospective study was to assess and compare the toxicity and efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with S-1 or docetaxel and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Patients with locally advanced ESCC who received CCRT with S-1 (70 mg/m twice daily on days 1-14, every 3 weeks for 2 cycles, S-1 group) or docetaxel (25 mg/m) and cisplatin (25 mg/m) on day 1 weekly (DP group) between 2014 and 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Radiotherapy was delivered in 1.8-2.0 Gy per fraction to a total dose of 50-60 Gy. Treatment-related toxicities (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0), response rate, and survival outcomes were compared between groups.
A total of 175 patients were included in this study (72 in the S-1 group and 103 in the DP group). Baseline characteristics were well balanced between the two groups. The incidence of grade 3-4 adverse events were significantly lower in the S-1 group than that of the DP group (22.2% vs. 45.6%, p = 0.002). In the DP group, elderly patients (> 60 years) had a significantly higher rate of grade 3-4 adverse events than younger patients (58.1% vs. 31.3%, p = 0.01). The objective overall response rate (complete response + partial response) was 68.1% in the S-1 group, and 73.8% the DP group (p = 0.497). The 3-year overall survival was 34.7% in the S-1 group, and 38.8% in the DP group (p = 0.422). The 3-year progression free survival in the DP group was higher than that in the S-1 group but without significant difference (33.0% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.275).
CCRT with S-1 is not inferior to CCRT with docetaxel and cisplatin and is better tolerated in in elderly patients with locally advanced ESCC.
本回顾性研究旨在评估和比较局部晚期食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)患者同步放化疗(CCRT)中替吉奥(S-1)或多西他赛联合顺铂的毒性和疗效。
2014 年至 2016 年期间,对接受 S-1(70mg/m,每日 2 次,第 1-14 天,每 3 周 2 个周期,S-1 组)或多西他赛(25mg/m)联合顺铂(25mg/m)每周 1 天(DP 组)的局部晚期 ESCC 患者进行 CCRT 治疗,采用 1.8-2.0Gy/次,总剂量 50-60Gy。比较两组间治疗相关毒性(不良事件通用术语标准 4.0 版)、缓解率和生存结局。
本研究共纳入 175 例患者(S-1 组 72 例,DP 组 103 例)。两组患者的基线特征均衡。S-1 组 3-4 级不良事件发生率明显低于 DP 组(22.2% vs. 45.6%,p=0.002)。DP 组中,老年(>60 岁)患者的 3-4 级不良事件发生率明显高于年轻患者(58.1% vs. 31.3%,p=0.01)。S-1 组的客观总缓解率(完全缓解+部分缓解)为 68.1%,DP 组为 73.8%(p=0.497)。S-1 组的 3 年总生存率为 34.7%,DP 组为 38.8%(p=0.422)。DP 组的 3 年无进展生存率高于 S-1 组,但差异无统计学意义(33.0% vs. 25.0%,p=0.275)。
CCRT 中替吉奥(S-1)并不逊于多西他赛联合顺铂,且在局部晚期 ESCC 老年患者中耐受性更好。
