主 题:Esophageal carcinoma squamous cell carcinoma nutritional risk score nimotuzumab S-1 definitive chemoradiotherapy
摘 要:Objective:Definitive chemoradiotherapy(dCRT)is the standard treatment for unresectable locally advanced esophageal ***,this treatment is associated with substantial toxicity,and most malnourished or elderly patients are unable to complete this ***,there is a need for a more suitable radiotherapy combination regimen for this *** study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination regimen comprising chemotherapy with nimotuzumab and S-1 and concurrent radiotherapy for patients with fragile locally advanced esophageal cancer with a high Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS-2002)***:Eligible patients with unresectable esophageal carcinoma who had an NRS-2002 score of 2 or higher were *** were treated with S-1 and nimotuzumab with concurrent radiotherapy,followed by surgery or definitive *** primary endpoint was the locoregional control(LRC)***:A total of 55 patients who met the study criteria were *** completion of treatment,surgery was performed in 15 patients and radiotherapy was continued in 40 *** median follow-up period was 33.3[95%confidence interval(95%CI,31.4−35.1)]*** LRC rate was 77.2%(95%CI,66.6%−89.4%)at 1 year in the entire *** overall survival(OS)rate and event-free survival(EFS)rate were 57.5%and 51.5%at 3 years,*** was associated with better LRC[hazard ratio(HR)=0.16;95%CI,0.04−0.70;P=0.015],OS(HR=0.19;95%CI,0.04−0.80;P=0.024),and EFS(HR=0.25;95%CI,0.08−0.75;P=0.013).Most adverse events were of grade 1 or 2,and no severe adverse events ***:For malnourished or elderly patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer,radiotherapy combined with nimotuzumab and S-1 is effective and has a good safety profile.
