摘要:
目的 对比全脑放疗(WBRT)与全脑加局部同期推量放疗(WBRT+SIB)在大于3个脑转移病灶患者中的治疗效果及毒副作用。 方法 对2011年7月~2020年7月就诊于深圳市人民医院肿瘤放疗科的118例脑转移瘤患者进行回顾性分析,根据放疗方法的不同将患者分为WBRT组(n=62)和WBRT+SIB组(n=56)。分别观察两组的生存率和毒副反应。 结果 WBRT+SIB组与WBRT组的中位生存时间分别为10.7月和7.8月,1年生存率分别为32%和13%(P=0.02);RPA 1分者WBRT+SIB和WBRT中位生存时间分别为13.6月和10.5月,1年生存率分别为51%和28%(P=0.01);RPA 2分者WBRT+SIB和WBRT中位生存时间分别为9.3月和6.8月,1年生存率分别为18%和11%(P=0.39)。两组各项早期及晚期毒副反应的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。 结论 对大于3个脑转移瘤的患者,WBRT+SIB生存率优于WBRT,副作用无差异。 Abstract:Objective To compare the therapy effect and toxic side effects of whole brain radiotherapy and whole brain with or without simultaneous integrated boost in patients with more than 3 brain metastatic lesions. Methods Patients with more than 3 brain metastatic lesions undergoing radiotherapy in the Department of Radiation Oncology of Shenzhen People's Hospital from July 2011 to July 2020 were analyzed retrospectively, which grouped to whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT group, n=62) and whole brain radiotherapy plus simultaneous integrated boost radiotherapy (WBRT + SIB group, n=56). We observed the survival rate and toxic side effects of the two groups. Results The median survival time of WBRT+SIB group and the WBRT group were 10.7 months and 7.8 months, respectively. The 1-year survival rate were 32% and 13% (P=0.02), respectively. The median survival time of WBRT+SIB and WBRT for those with RPA 1 point were 13.6 months and 10.5 months, and the 1-year survival rates were 51% and 28% (P=0.01). The median survival time of WBRT + SIB and WBRT for those with RPA 2 points were 9.3 months and 6.8 months, and the 1- year survival rates were 18% and 11% (P=0.39). There were no significant differences of the early and late toxic side reactions between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion For patients with more than 3 brain metastases, the survival rate of WBRT+SIB was better than whole brain radiotherapy, and there were no difference in side effects. -
